Views of Top Experts on Healthcare Budget 2021
According to Dr Shuchin Bajaj, Founder and Director, Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals, “As India faces the worst ever health crisis of all times, we hope that Covid-19 will provide the silver lining for increasing the healthcare budget. There has never been a greater spotlight on healthcare delivery in various environments. Unfortunately, no election has been fought on healthcare as an issue in India yet. But now, with the coronavirus pandemic, the focus is only and squarely on healthcare. I hope that this will lead to an increase in the healthcare budget and various healthcare provisions, so that the expenditure on health can go up to 3% of the GDP, as promised by the government.”
