As India anticipates the Union Budget 2025-26 presentation by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 1, 2025 - her eighth consecutive budget - the healthcare sector stands at a crucial juncture of transformation and growth. The upcoming budget presents an opportunity to address the fundamental challenges in India's healthcare system while building on the progress made in recent years. The healthcare landscape has evolved significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting both the strengths and vulnerabilities of our medical infrastructure. While government support for the sector has increased in recent years, the current healthcare expenditure remains below 2.5% of GDP, indicating substantial room for growth to meet the nation's growing healthcare needs.
