Post-budget 2018 Reaction Mr. Surajit-CFO,MedGenome

We were optimistic about the budget this year and the Hon’ble Finance Minister has presented a budget that meets our expectations. The budget has addressed key areas that will help the economy grow in the coming year. The main concerns of the healthcare sector have been taken into consideration and initiatives under “Ayushmann Bharat” to insure and protect the poor will move the country towards universal health coverage. Establishing of health and wellness centres in rural and smaller towns will make healthcare more accessible and affordable for the larger population. These are good measures and we are confident that they will usher in a new era of social health equity in the country and take us a step closer towards inclusive social security.
