In dit nummer

Last year the Budget allocated INR 86,200 cr to the Ministry
of Health and Family Welfare, which was a 16.5 per
cent increase when compared to FY 2020-21. This year,
all eyes will be on specific areas namely, GST reforms, allocation
to medical education, and infrastructure in Tier2
and Tier 3 cities.
With Covid rearing its head again, and numbers increasing in China,
the world is readying its healthcare systems for any possible outbreak.
Here in India too, healthcare facilities are reviewing their systems
to guard against any eventualities. The latest figures suggest India
has administered over 220 crore vaccine doses, and approximately
95 crore people are double vaccinated and over 22 crore people have
taken the booster dose. Post pandemic revamping of hospital infrastructure
has seen healthcare providers becoming self-dependent on
oxygen support, driving digital strength, and creating better monitoring
systems to better predict and control the next outbreak. We bring
you voices of leaders from across the sector on how the healthcare
sector has applied the learning from the pandemic to infrastructure,
processes, and most of all to delivering care.
