"Much-needed attention is given to ease of access to healthcare services through an open platform of the National Digital Health Ecosystem. The initiative taken for mental health is welcomed by the healthcare industry. Irrespective of age, gender, and occupation the need for focus on mental health is necessary given the current situation. The National Tele Mental Health programme is a positive step to support national mental health counselling and care services. Greater fund and resource allocation to enhance the healthcare infrastructure both in urban areas as well as in tier II-III towns have been prioritised. The budget also highlighted the importance of Genomics and AI aptly in future. However, a larger push to overall infrastructure, manpower and investments in Public-Private Partnerships which can help in further strengthening the healthcare ecosystem in the country remains undiscussed."
