Post Budget Quote – Dr. Prathap C. Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group

New Delhi, February 02, 2019: Commenting on the Interim Budget 2019, Dr. Prathap C Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group said, “A forward-thinking budget with a definitive vision to accelerate much greater progress and enhance well being of Indians, the allocation of Rs. 6400 crores for Ayushman Bharat is very welcome. Now it is paramount, that India ramps up its efforts to arrest the upsurge of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which are increasing like an epidemic.

The morbidity and mortality due to Diabetes and increasing prevalence of Cancers are very concerning.  9 out of 10 deaths due to NCDs can be prevented by awareness and early screening.  I commend the Government for the budget recommendation. The endeavours and efforts that the Government of India has embarked upon will make our nation healthier and a model for the world to emulate.”
