Modi Says India Moving Towards Healthier Future Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted India’s progress in healthcare accessibility and affordability during a recent address, emphasizing the nation’s focus over the past 12 years on expanding medical services to underserved populations. In a series of posts on X, Modi reiterated the government’s commitment to making quality healthcare more affordable and accessible, citing flagship initiatives such as Ayushman Bharat and the PM Bharatiya Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana as pivotal to these efforts. Modi stated that India’s healthcare system has evolved into the world’s largest program, with Ayushman Bharat providing top-quality care to the most vulnerable citizens. He credited the scheme’s success to its ability to reduce financial burdens on patients, particularly through regulated pricing for critical medical devices like stents and knee implants. These measures, Modi argued, have significantly lowered costs for patients while ensuring equitable access to essential treatments. The PM also acknowledged the role of the Jan Aushadhi initiative in making medicines more affordable. By establishing a network of affordable drug outlets, the program has helped curb the rising cost of pharmaceuticals, benefiting millions of households. Modi further emphasized the expansion of medical education, noting that increased institutions and seats have improved access to training for aspiring healthcare professionals, particularly in rural and underserved regions. MyGov India, a government platform, echoed Modi’s sentiments, stating that the healthcare sector has undergone a transformative shift under his leadership. The platform highlighted key achievements, including expanded access to services, enhanced system capacity, and reduced costs.#narendra_modi #ayushman_bharat #pm_bharatiya_jan_aushadhi_pariyojana #mygov_india #jan_aushadhi
