Reactions on Union Budget 2023 from Commander Navneet Bali, Regional Director Narayana Health-North

New Delhi, February 01, 2023: Union Budget 2023 looks progressive and inclusive for the healthcare sector. The government has taken a holistic approach by focusing on the ‘Sapt Rishi’ Model and our sector is aligned with all the seven pillars mentioned by the Finance Minister in her speech. For example, the healthcare sector plays a crucial role in inclusive development and reaching the last mile. We are glad to know that ICMR labs will be made available for research by public & private medical college faculty and private sector R&D teams. We were expecting some measures on capacity building in the sector and it is promising to note that the government has announced setting up 150 new nursing colleges. This would enhance our capacity and fill the gap in terms of human resources.  The proposed Mission to eliminate sickle cell anemia by 2047 is a very positive step. The programme for research & innovation in pharmaceuticals is a well appreciated need of the hour.
