Strong investments in healthcare can help buoy the nation's economy: Metropolis Healthcare

“While we still battle the mutations to the COVID-19, I believe that the upcoming budget might comprehensively cater to the healthcare sector. R&D in India and around the world has been ever developing solutions to address the existing issues and has been preparing for the anticipated ones. The technological intervention has increased the digital and home-based healthcare ecosystem ensuring a reliable healthcare solution for the nation. However, training and medical infrastructure need to be nurtured. The Centre's current expenditure on healthcare is estimated at 1.2 per cent of the GDP (as per National Health Accounts, 2016-17) and is envisioned to touch 2.5 per cent by 2025. And I believe that strong investments in healthcare can help buoy the nation's economy.”
