”Expectations were sky high for the incoming budget 2016. Given a plethora of overall economic and social considerations, the Finance Minister had a massive task ahead of him, and delivered focus on the multiple facets of the economy. From a standpoint of assistance to the healthcare sector though, aside from a health scheme covering Rs. 1 lakh cover per family, access to cheaper medicine, and a focus on dialysis through the PPP modality, there was little to cater to this rapidly growing segment. We were particularly hoping for some focus on healthcare education, which is the major bottleneck to increasing the supply of healthcare providers in the country. These include freezing accreditation standards for continuing education, increased incentives for the pursuit of further medical studies, and solutions to the chronic lack of educators at medical college projects across the country, all of which would boost patient outcomes. We at eMediNexus are striving to create a virtual digital education environment for all medical practitioners to boost their learning and understanding of clinical cases, and we would support the government in any of its future efforts in this space,” said
