The Budget has signalled it's continued focus on building capacity and developing the ecosystem- through the 5 healthcare and medical tourism hubs and the plans to augment allied health professionals and care workers. MVT Medical Value Tourism is a huge opportunity for India which the Budget has recognised. However one would have liked to see a more detailed plan and specific allocations on these aspects.
Also the continued focus on electronics and semiconductor mfg in the Budget will indirectly benefit the Medical Devices industry to accelerate localisation of electronic medical devices and components.
