Dr VK Paul, Member (Health), NITI Aayog, Government of India said that the public and private sectors in the healthcare sector have come together and are fully committed to serve the people of India, speaking at ‘FICCI HEAL 2019 - Health of Healthcare in India’, organised by FICCI supported by NITI Aayog and National Health Authority.

“Most important highlight of Ayushman Bharat is that it has now finally established ‘One India, one nation, one health sector’. Private-public demarcations are over once and for all. We are working together on agreed terms and methodologies through dialogue and systems with an endeavour to find solutions to the challenges of our healthcare system” he said.

Dr Paul said that over the last year, country has added 25 per cent additional MBBS seats, which is unprecedented. “From about 60,000 MBBS seats last year, this year we have about 76,000 seats and actually a potential of about 80,000 seats,” he said.
