“The Government has laid out an ambitious vision for Healthcare. The announcement of the National Digital Health Ecosystem which will be an open platform that will capture all the stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem, backed by a unique health ID will help form a robust network to map and rollout healthcare facilities to all and improve accessibility.

Also, the National Tele Mental Health programme will bring into focus the relegated sector of mental health. It is encouraging to see that mental health will be dealt with at an institutional scale across India, by roping in both NIMHANS and Iiit-bengaluru for the tech-support.

These key announcements on healthcare will now require a combined push from both Centre and States in terms of co-ordination and effective execution to significantly improve inclusiveness, reach and impact on a pan-india level.”
