New Delhi: In order to ensure accessibility to health services to the residents of semi-rural areas, Union Health Minister J P Nadda pitched for private hospitals to set up their centre there and at the same time making the services affordable.
“While taking a holistic view of healthcare we must not forget that healthcare in India needs to be affordable, accessible and adheres to the quality standards.” This was stated by Shri J P Nadda, Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare at the 13th India Health Summit, an annual flagship event on healthcare, organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), here today.
Speaking on the occasion, the Health Minister stated that there is an urgent need for strengthening healthcare in India with well-defined terms of reference (ToR) of partnership with the private sector. “Time has come when we must freeze the ToR that are meaningful and deliver results,” Shri Nadda said. The Health Minister further stated that today’s event gives us an opportunity to engage with private sector and strengthen partnerships to move towards our common goal of providing equitable and affordable healthcare of quality to all. “We need poor people to have accessibility to private hospitals in rural areas and for that we have to explore and develop models that can provide healthcare at affordable cost,” Shri Nadda elaborated.
