As the nation eagerly awaits with several expectations, the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Budget 2024 on July 23 (Tuesday) in Lok Sabha. Ahead of the Budget presentation, Sitharaman today, July 22, tabled the Economic Survey 2023-2024 in the parliament as the session kicked off.
This budget will also set a record for Sitharaman by marking her presentation of the highest number of budget in the parliament, that is, a total of seven in a row.
The markets, investors and various sectors across will keenly watch the budget and the allocations.
With several expectation across various sectors, OMRON Healthcare India, Managing Director, Tetsuya Yamada, added, “India’s healthcare system faces a significant challenge due to the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). India has more than 220 million people who suffer from high blood pressure, but a WHO study showed that only 15% of them receive treatment.”
“We hope that the government will keep in mind the importance of implementing policies and promoting widespread knowledge of preventive care, which can reduce the burden of costs for hospitalization and surgery,” he added.
Furthermore, he noted, “We anticipate that the Union Budget 2024-25 will reflect a forward-thinking approach including preventive care at home, aligning with industry needs, and ultimately establishing a resilient and advanced healthcare framework.”
