Pre-budget 2021 expectation-Haruto Iwata, Managing Director, Fujifilm India

With the pandemic giving a wake-up call to the healthcare sector, it has given rise to new opportunities with the urgency to prioritise welfare for healthcare professionals, offer best-in-class medical devices and solutions that will enable quality healthcare for the consumers. Keeping this in mind, at Fujifilm India, we expect the budget 2021 to create new horizons for the medical sector. We believe that the Government of India will bring in new policies that will cater to providing a comprehensive and integrated healthcare ecosystem in the country and support the patients to get access to high-quality and cost-effective care. Given the unprecedented challenges we faced due to the public health crisis, there is a need to create a shared digital infrastructure to make innovative solutions in the healthcare sector. Investments in new medical care technologies are and will be at the forefront of combatting COVID-19 and will also help us pave the way for any future uncertainty. We at Fujifilm are working extensively towards promoting preventive healthcare amongst consumers and understand the importance of offering medical solutions to the community that best cater to their needs and demands.
