Core Tip	he health care cost is escalating worldwide affecting both the governments and households. The need for surgery and interventional procedures are also increasing steadily. It has led to the increased requirement of clinical services from the anesthesiologists. Therefore, anesthesiologists can also play an important role in cost containment. Two of the major areas where cost reduction is possible are preoperative tests and the use of low and minimal flow anesthesia. However, a few factors may act as a hindrance in clinical practice. This opinion review paper discusses these issues and possible remedial steps for providing cost-effective yet quality healthcare, especially in developing countries.
