Additionally, to position India as a global leader in healthcare in line with Vishwaguru philosophy, we urge the government to introduce tax incentives for healthcare services exports and provide robust support for R&D in innovative healthcare services. This will not only benefit millions of patients but also boost India’s stature in the global healthcare ecosystem

"As the government prepares for the 2025 Budget, we hope for a significant increase in funding to expand dialysis services under the PMNDP, addressing the urgent need for dialysis care across the country. Only 15% of patients who require dialysis get access currently. With Lakhs of new patients requiring regular dialysis, increasing dialysis care outlay and thereby increasing access to life sustaining care is crucial.  

Additionally, to position India as a global leader in healthcare in line with Vishwaguru philosophy, we urge the government to introduce tax incentives for healthcare services exports and provide robust support for R&D in innovative healthcare services. This will not only benefit millions of patients but also boost India’s stature in the global healthcare ecosystem" - Vikram Vuppala Founder and CEO, NephroPlus
