 Budget Reactions on the Healthcare Sector: Ankura Hospital

According to Dr Krishna Prasad Vunnam, Founder & Managing Director, Ankura Hospital,


 “I commend Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for presenting a thoughtful and inclusive budget today. The increased focus on healthcare, with substantial allocations towards infrastructure development and public health initiatives, is both timely and necessary.

At Ankura Hospital, we are particularly encouraged by the exemption of customs duty for Rare Diseases like Cystic Fibrosis as also significant emphasis on maternal and child health. The dedicated funds for improving neonatal care and paediatric services align perfectly with our mission to deliver the highest quality of care to mothers and children. These initiatives will undoubtedly enhance our ability to provide comprehensive and specialized services to this vulnerable population.

Overall, this budget demonstrates a strong commitment to building a resilient healthcare system. We look forward to supporting and implementing these initiatives to contribute to the nation’s health and well-being.

Given the rapidly rising cancer cases in India, the initiative to promote cervical cancer vaccination among girls aged 9-14 marks a momentous turning point that has been declared in the budget. The government is stressing the need for timely prevention and health awareness among young girls and their families.  This move will empower future generations with the knowledge they require to prevent cervical cancer.  By increasing accessibility to the HPV vaccine, it is possible to address misconceptions and stigma related to cervical cancer. Preventive measures are encouraged for girls to lead healthy lives.  Likewise, the launch of the Unorganised Worker Identification Number (U-WIN) platform is a significant leap with a focus on immunization management and the ambitious Mission Indradhanush. By streamlining vaccine distribution through real-time data tracking, U-WIN will ensure that the vulnerable populations can get timely vaccinations which will reduce the burden on the healthcare system.”

  Budget Reaction from  Mr. Anand Kr. Maloo, President- F&A, M.S. Agarwal Foundries "I commend Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on today's budget, which prioritizes the steel industry's growth with increased allocations, enhancing its competitiveness and driving economic growth. The removal of the 2.5% basic customs duty on the import of ferronickel for stainless steel and specialty alloys is a significant and positive step. Increased spending on infrastructure, affordable housing, and internship opportunities fosters innovation and entrepreneurship. The abolition of the Angel Tax and the increased Mudra loan limit to 20 lakhs will support small businesses. While the rise in LTCG could have been avoided, the budget demonstrates a commitment to building a resilient steel sector and driving economic growth. Overall, the budget is a forward-looking and growth-oriented initiative that will benefit India's economy."
