“This year’s Union Budget firmly anchors itself in the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat,’ aspiring to provide quality education and comprehensive healthcare for all. The budget overall focuses on increasing the affordability of healthcare solutions with the exemption of customs duty on lifesaving medicines that will provide relief to patients suffering from cancer, rare diseases, and severe chronic conditions.
We look forward to collaborating with the government to position India as a preferred destination for Medical Tourism with the ‘Heal in India’ initiative.
Furthermore, an increased focus on strengthening the medical infrastructure aims at making healthcare more accessible to everyone. Adding 75,000 medical seats in the next five years is a strategic step to build a robust healthcare workforce. Enhancing broadband connectivity in primary healthcare centers will ensure quality healthcare delivery to the last mile in India. The establishment of 200 day-care cancer centers across district hospitals also highlights a proactive approach to healthcare, focusing on accessibility and affordability.
The government is enhancing its inclusive growth agenda through the Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 program, aimed at boosting nutritional support for over nine crore beneficiaries, including children, pregnant women, and adolescent girls in key regions. This initiative not only promises improved health outcomes but also aims to strengthen the foundation for future generations, addressing health disparities across the country”
