Overall its low key budget for healthcare by Industry Captians

New Delhi, February 02, 2018:

Vikram Vuppala, Founder & CEO, NephroPlus:

Overall its low key budget for healthcare, except for the “promise” of National Health Protection Scheme. National Health Protection Scheme, if implemented well will be a game changer for healthcare delivery companies in India. The key is to ensure that Government plays the role of a good payer and regulator while private insurance firms are roped into implement the actual program. Aayushman Bharat 1.5 lakh centers sounds like a great idea but the budget of 1200 crores seems extremely low for proper implementation. 24 new Medical Colleges is very less, but still a good start to this capacity’s expansion effort.

Dr. GSK Velu, Founder, Chairman – Trivitron Healthcare Pvt.Ltd.

Today’s Union Budget puts to the fore a leap forward approach towards Universal Health Coverage Program. I personally congratulate the Hon Prime Minister & Finance Minister for thinking innovatively to improve the healthcare infrastructure and for launching this revolutionary insurance scheme to cover 10 crore poor and vulnerable families.
