Health Care is such a sector, in which technology keeps on changing continuously. Everyday new products keep coming out, that means it is very important for the people associated with this sector to be skilled.
Expected Health Budget 2023: Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present her last full budget on 1 February. An increase in the budget of the health care industry is expected in this budget. Because there is a need for major reforms in the entire system of health. Due to the lack of which more than one crore people came under the grip of corona during the corona epidemic. The country has lost more than one and a half lakh lives due to this epidemic. Also lost many Corona Warriors because the healthcare infrastructure was very weak. That's why there is a need for major reforms in the health system. Corona is not necessarily the last pandemic. There may be another pandemic in the future as well. That's why we need to be careful from now on.
Let us tell you that after seeing the situation of Corona in China, concern has increased all over the world. In India also the talk of booster dose started to arise. Mock drill was also done to see whether the oxygen plants were running or not. Fake messages about the possibilities of lockdown started being shared on social media. Although the corona has reduced a lot here, but the old memories are fresh in the mind. Everyone knows that lockdown means a huge loss to the economy. Therefore, in the coming budget, it will be a big task for the government to keep complete preparations for any epidemic.
Among the things that the Finance Minister emphasized in the last budget, promotion of digital efforts in the health sector has been special. Mental health care was also mentioned. The health sector received 16 percent more money as compared to a year ago, but if we look at the expenditure on increasing the facility, less than one percent of the total expenditure was received. By the way, irrespective of whose government, the general perception is that it spends less on health services.
Incentive to increase production
Hospitals are available in both government and private sectors in big cities, but it is difficult in medium and small cities. There the private sector will have to be enticed to invest in hospitals. Raw material of medicines, medical equipment, all these should be made completely in the country, investment is required for this. Although India used to be far ahead in manufacturing and exporting medicines, but, recently there were complaints of disturbances in cough syrup from Gambia and Uzbekistan. After this, questions started arising on the quality of medicines made in India. It is expected that there will be an incentive to increase the production of good medicines in the budget.
Technology keeps changing in the healthcare sector
Healthcare is a sector in which technology is constantly changing. Everyday new products keep coming out, that means it is very important for the people associated with this sector to be skilled. Companies should increase their expenditure in healthcare training. The industry is demanding incentives on this. Healthcare systems should also be interconnected.
Whatever the data of diagnostic centers along with government and private hospitals, they reach inside a data center in real time. With this, any change in the pattern of the disease can be monitored. The initiative of the National Digital Health Mission is a step in this direction. It is expected that there will be a provision to strengthen it in this budget.
Things changing with Ayushman Yojana
A large population of India does not have health insurance. Although the situation is changing with the Ayushman scheme. The poor sections of the society are getting its benefits. Now the expansion of this scheme is being expected. The most important thing for health is that people get clean water. Where people live, there should be cleanliness. It is expected that some amount will be kept in the budget for these arrangements as well.
