“We appreciate the move by the Finance Minister to create an open platform for the National Digital Health Ecosystem that will consist of digital registries of health providers and health facilities, unique health identity and universal access to health facilities. This will create a repository of all health data which will prove beneficial to track the incidence of various diseases especially during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. It is very welcoming to see how mental health has been given its due importance with the launch of a national tele-mental health programme. This is the need of the hour as the incidence of mental illness has been on the rise in our country. With the ongoing Omicron wave, Ms. Sitharaman also highlighted the importance of vaccination and ‘Sabka Prayaas’- a joint effort to vaccinate one and all. For start-ups specifically, the existing tax benefits which were offered through redemption of taxes for 3 consecutive years will be extended by 1 more year and this will surely provide an impetus for emerging entrepreneurs to participate in the growth of the economy at large.”
