Anand. K, Chief Executive Officer, SRL Diagnostics shares his reaction on Union Budget 2023-24
"It is a relief to see the government's intent to screen and eliminate a condition like sickle cell anemia. We hope that just like the 'Anemia Mukt Bharat' initiative, this programme also gets the required impetus from the central government.
Along with establishment of nursing colleges, a provision for para medical workers and ancillary workers should also be considered. The focus on collaboration with private sector on R&D and innovations is a great move and hope it marks a new beginning for healthcare and pharma innovations in India.
It would have been great if the union budget also focused on funding to strengthen India's health infrastructure system and R&D capacity."
