Below is quote on Budget 2023 expectation by HealthCare Sector from Mr. Chander Shekhar Sibal, Executive Vice President & Head of Medical Division at FUJIFILM India 

“The healthcare industry met with some of the most grave challenges during the last three years, owing to the pandemic and other factors. However, with the government’s relentless support, including a rise in budget allocations as part the “Healthy India” vision in FY23, the country was able to combat many of these hurdles. Needless to say, India’s healthcare and research professionals also played a fundamental role as agents of change.

While there was a commendable increase in the budget allocated to the healthcare industry last year, this year we expect an additional rise in the same.  Moreover, a stronger focus on the public healthcare sector for accessible, affordable and quality health services to all will remain critical.  We also look forward to reforms that provide tax benefits on preventive health check-ups and healthcare skilling. This, coupled with widespread digitization in the industry will help healthcare institutions to cut down on operational expenses and keep their focus streamlined. Healthcare Insurance for middle income group with co-payment would be important to improve the accessibility of Healthcare services.

With a large population and a diverse requirement for healthcare services, we at FUJIFILM India are gearing up to support India's healthcare needs.”
