Need to step up funding for health sector, bring equity in delivery of services: Harsh Vardhan

The Union Health Minister also advocated an integrated approach towards healthcare to provide holistic services. Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Saturday underlined the need to step up funding for the health sector and bring in equity in delivery of healthcare. He was addressing the inaugural session of TechBharat 2021. “A radical improvement in government facilities for the poor rather than only glitzy hospitals for the well-heeled along with the recent moves to lower prices of essential drugs and health equipment, are steps in the right direction,” a statement quoted the Minister as saying at the event. “Funding for the healthcare sector needs to be stepped up greatly and it has to be ensured that there is equity in the delivery of healthcare,” he said.
