Kavinder bats for streamlining healthcare infrastructure | | |
Jammu, Apr 2: While lauding the role of the Union Government decision on a two-pronged strategy: lock down the entire nation to break the infection chain and quickly ramp up its healthcare facilities to face the COVID—19 pandemic in India former Deputy Chief Minister & senior BJP leader Kavinder Gupta said that developing health infrastructure, especially in the rural areas should be prioritized by the government. He said although the Government has brought the Ayushman Bharat scheme — the government run health insurance program which has proved to be a major health policy intervention. However, need of hour is to streamline and develop healthcare infrastructure to cope up with COVID-19 like pandemic. Another area to be looked into is the escalating prices of essential medicines. “The government has allowed the firms to set the prices as per market-based system rather that what they accrue as costs of production. However, while pharma firms are making lot of profits, the common man is suffering. The government must without delay ask the firms to go back to cost-of-production pricing system,” Jan Swasthya Abhiyan’s , Gupta said. |
