The
new government will also develop a national health insurance policy and
National awareness programme promoting healthy lifestyle.
Mr.
Amol Naikawadi, JMD, Indus Health Plus says, “This step taken by government is
encouraging and by investing in preventive measures individuals spend on
healthcare will reduce. Preventive healthcare is need of the hour as lifestyle
diseases are on rise. Early detection helps in effective treatment and also
increases life expectancy. We are consistently trying to spread awareness and
therefore make it imperative for one and all to take preventive health check-up
before it’s late”.

“Government
should make routine health check - up mandatory from the age of 25 years
through healthcare programmes”, added Mr. Amol Naikawadi.
Mr.
Amol Naikawadi, Joint Managing Director Indus Health Plus shares healthcare
policy recommendation for the new government.
Mr.
Naikawadi’s wish list...
a. In
the current scenario health insurance and preventive health check-up are
clubbed together under one category for tax benefit. This can be separated to
create 2 different categories. This arrangement can help people get a precise
and clear incentive to go for a preventive health check-up
b. The
tax redemption bar can be increased from Rs.5000 to Rs.15 000 since the cover
is meant not just for one individual but for the family members as well. The
motive is to control healthcare expenses to meet the basic needs of the family
c. Corporates
who have a preventive health check - up policy or invest in preventive health
check - up for its employees should be given extra benefits
d. Need
to create personal health records and encourage screening of diseases amongst
the population
e. Encourage
health institutions to bring new equipment models that are more effective as
well as affordable. Reduce the import duty on healthcare equipment’s
f.India
should increase the manufacturing of local goods and medical equipment
g. Need
a strong regulatory forum to bring improvement in overall healthcare industry
h. To
form a separate department with experts to address strong concerns about health
of the country
i. Make
it mandatory for schools & colleges for initiating health programmes
for early screening, promoting positive health
