MUMBAI, 1st FEBRUARY, 2022 (GPN): Budget reaction quote from Dr. Ramesh Kancharla, Chairman and Managing Director, Rainbow Children’s Hospital

 

“We are happy with the announcement of the Digital Health Eco System which will go a long way in providing a national registry of the healthcare infrastructure of the country. This will improve transparency and  information flow of key healthcare parameters across the country. Given the challenges in mental health thrown up by the pandemic, the National Tele Mental Health Programme is another welcome step. 

India has managed the pandemic phenomenally. The size of the country and the demographic distribution are unique challenges that have been managed through one of the largest vaccination programmes in the world. Also the effective use of technology through the Cowin and Arogya Setu App have helped in identifying, tracing and managing Covid cases.”
