Budget Reactions on the Healthcare Sector: Ankura Hospital
According to Dr Krishna Prasad Vunnam, Founder & Managing Director. “I commend Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for presenting a thoughtful and inclusive budget today. The increased focus on healthcare, with substantial allocations towards infrastructure development and public health initiatives, is both timely and necessary.
At Ankura Hospital, we are particularly encouraged by the exemption of customs duty for Rare Diseases like Cystic Fibrosis as also significant emphasis on maternal and child health. The dedicated funds for improving neonatal care and paediatric services align perfectly with our mission to deliver the highest quality of care to mothers and children. These initiatives will undoubtedly enhance our ability to provide comprehensive and specialized services to this vulnerable population.
Overall, this budget demonstrates a strong commitment to building a resilient healthcare system. We look forward to supporting and implementing these initiatives to contribute to the nation’s health and well-being.
Given the rapidly rising cancer cases in India, the initiative to promote cervical cancer vaccination among girls aged 9-14 marks a momentous turning point that has been declared in the budget. The government is stressing the need for timely prevention and health awareness among young girls and their families. This move will empower future generations with the knowledge they require to prevent cervical cancer. By increasing accessibility to the HPV vaccine, it is possible to address misconceptions and stigma related to cervical cancer. Preventive measures are encouraged for girls to lead healthy lives. Likewise, the launch of the Unorganised Worker Identification Number (U-WIN) platform is a significant leap with a focus on immunization management and the ambitious Mission Indradhanush. By streamlining vaccine distribution through real-time data tracking, U-WIN will ensure that the vulnerable populations can get timely vaccinations which will reduce the burden on the healthcare system.”
