But, though attracting foreign investments and \u2018Make in India\u2019 will be good for the country for a\u00a0long-term, the announcements such as additional import duties on medical devices and equipment will increase the costs for the consumers and put more margin pressures on companies and hospitals. Also, if the government wants to build high-quality healthcare infrastructure, and better accessibility and affordability of healthcare facilities, there&#8217;s much more to do. There&#8217;s a long way to go for attaining 2.5% of GDP by 2025 from about 1% currently. It&#8217;s high time to decide whether the current allocations are enough or not to reach the goal of healthcare to all!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Source: The Hindu, Firstpost, NDTV, Deccan Herald<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The finance minister has presented the budget for 2019-20 on Saturday.
