Quote on the pre-budget expectations from the Budget FY2022 – 23 on the healthcare sector by Ms. Ameera Shah, Promoter and Managing Director, Metropolis Healthcare Ltd.

“While we still battle the mutations to the COVID-19, I believe that the upcoming budget might comprehensively cater to 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. Technological intervention has increased digital and home-based healthcare ecosystem ensuring a reliable healthcare solution for the nation. However, training, and medical infrastructure needs to be nurtured. The Centre's current expenditure on healthcare is estimated at 1.2% of the GDP(as per National Health Accounts, 2016-17) and envisioned to touch 2.5% by 2025. And I believe that strong investments in healthcare can help buoy the nation's economy.”
