‘Forward-looking budget’

Reacting on Union Budget Dr Anand Shrivastav, Advisor, Medica Hospital, Ranchi, said, “This is a forward-looking budget. In this, the lesson taken from the past year (Corona period) is clearly visible. The 150 per cent increase in the budget of the health sector is a clear proof of this. Proposal of Rs 35,000 crore for vaccination against Coronavirus is another positive step. Apart from this, the announcement to create 'Critical Care Blocks' is like an innovative initiative. If it is implemented, more and more patients will be saved from serious injuries and suffering from serious illnesses in various accidents. The expansion of the scope of PM Jan Arogya Yojana and construction of hospitals in PPP mode will also improve health services.”
