Views of Mr Bharath Balasubramaniam, President Operations, Sankara Eye Foundation India on Union Budget announced today for Health care sector

New Delhi, February 01, 2023: Union Budget 2023 has certainly reaffirmed the government’s commitment to give utmost priority to the healthcare sector which is the need of the hour. The special impetus given on Research & Development was much needed to encourage more quality research and nurture innovation. This will also enhance the momentum of public private collaboration in healthcare. The focus on health infra in rural areas will certainly bring the entire network of digitisation under one umbrella. However, for not-for-profit hospitals we were hoping for a better outcome from the budget in the form of taxation benefits and operating incentives. The decision on adding 157 new nursing colleges will improve the nurse-patient ratio.
