Budget reaction: Amitoz Singh, Founder & CEO, Nirvasa Healthcare   

With Make in India to Atmanirbhar Bharat, the finance minister has put health and well-being at the centre of the budget by introducing it as one the six pillars of the 2021-22 historic budget. In this year’s budget, the finance minister proposes the extension of tax holiday for start-ups by one more year, which will strengthen India’s start-up sector, especially Healthcare. Further, the investment of Rs 64,180 crore in healthcare under PM Atmanirbhar Swasth Bharat Yojana will help drive focus towards developing capacities of healthcare systems. I’d like to congratulate the finance minister for reinvigorating the healthcare system and approaching it holistically to uplift human lives in the country.
