At Mumbai’s Lok Bhawan, President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday launched PD Hinduja Hospital’s pan-India ‘Save Lives and Build a Healthy India’ drive. Her speech underscored health as a communal duty, calling for unified efforts to guarantee medical aid for every citizen, especially the vulnerable.
Applauding governmental health investments over the last decade, she spotlighted Ayushman Bharat’s scale: coverage for 12 crore households up to Rs 5 lakh per year in inpatient care, powered by over 1.8 lakh service points.
Key interventions—Missions Indradhanush, TB elimination, sickle cell eradication—are curbing illnesses effectively. Surge in medical education capacity via additional seats and institutions like new AIIMS has fortified the workforce.
Timely emergency response is lifesaving, she stressed. PM’s scheme provides Rs 1.5 lakh treatment for mishap survivors. Enhanced ambulance networks, trauma units, and sensitization programs amplify impact. This campaign advances that agenda.
Wellness underpins national strength; healthcare fuels development. Affordable global-standard services are a collective goal. Embracing AI through IndiaAI Mission promises revolutionary changes—we must adapt.
India’s pharma prowess supplies the world, yet equipment and drug imports strain pockets. Make in India, PLI boost local manufacturing. Leaders must nurture innovation ecosystems, research, and entrepreneurial ventures.
For 2047’s developed India, health is the cornerstone. Synergized actions will yield world-class care, crowning India a health leadership hub. The initiative vows to elevate awareness, crisis management, and inclusive health delivery.
