Post-Budget Reaction Quote - Ms. Deepshikha Sharma, CEO of Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals

▴ Ms. Deepshikha Sharma
Additionally, the ₹4,200 crore allocation to Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) reinforces the government’s commitment to affordable healthcare for all. The ₹2,445 crore allocation for the PLI scheme in the pharmaceutical sector is another positive step toward boosting domestic production and innovation

At Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals, we particularly emphasize the importance of specialized care. With over 2.2 crore people in India suffering from blindness and over 13.7 crore affected by vision impairment, addressing ophthalmic healthcare is more critical than ever. The budget’s focus on increasing medical seats should also prioritize specialties like ophthalmology to meet the rising demand for trained professionals. The announcement of 10,000 new medical seats this year and 75,000 over five years is a commendable step toward bridging the healthcare workforce gap and ensuring quality care reaches every corner of the country.”

 

The Union Budget 2025-26 demonstrates a progressive approach to strengthening India’s healthcare system with an allocation of ₹98,311 crore, a notable increase from ₹89,287 crore in the previous year. The establishment of 200 cancer centres and the expansion of daycare cancer facilities across district hospitals will significantly enhance access to specialized treatment. Additionally, the ₹4,200 crore allocation to Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) reinforces the government’s commitment to affordable healthcare for all. The ₹2,445 crore allocation for the PLI scheme in the pharmaceutical sector is another positive step toward boosting domestic production and innovation.”
