Atmanirbhara swasth: Self sufficient health industry

<p>To achieve self-sufficiency and equity India must bridge the divide between expensive private care and under-resourced public services through a comprehensive multi-pronged strategy:</p><p>&bull; Strengthening Public Health: The government must urgently increase healthcare spending to at least 2.5% of GDP. This includes expanding insurance schemes like Ayushman Bharat for the vulnerable modernizing public hospitals to generate revenue and establishing a Unified Charity Fund for efficient resource distribution.</p><p>&bull; Boosting Medical Tourism: The proposal suggests creating Silicon Valley-style medical hubs that integrate modern and traditional (AYUSH) medicine. These hubs aim to attract NRI professionals improve non-medical infrastructure and foster domestic R&D to reduce reliance on imported devices.</p><p>&bull; Optimizing Delivery & Costs: Cost control measures include leasing medical equipment rationalizing antibiotic use and conducting rural medical camps. Corporate investment in diagnostics is encouraged to increase transparency and reduce corruption.</p><p>&bull; Collaborative Reform: Robust Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and data-driven policies are essential to combat medical inflation and prioritize preventive care.</p><p>By implementing these reforms India can build a sustainable economically robust and accessible healthcare ecosystem for all citizens.</p>
