Indus Health Plus, pioneer in preventive healthcare. Government has emphasized on preventive healthcare as treatment is expensive, while prevention is economical.
Under the ‘Health for All’ initiative, free diagnosis services and free drug services have been given priority.
The health ministry's National Health Assurance Mission ( NHAM) will reduce the health care expenditure of Indian citizens and will also aim to provide health care at their doorstep.
Mr. Amol Naikawadi, Joint Managing Director Indus Health Plus shares policy recommendation for the government for upcoming budgets.

Mr. Amol Naikawadi, Preventive Healthcare Specialist and JMD, Indus Health Plus says, “ The 100 % FDI in a separate policy for medical devices is a positive move by the new government. The move will further boost the investment climate in India. Since the government is focusing on prevention ever since their election manifesto was printed, PM and Govt together are focused towards working on prevention as priority. The sectorial allocation for health needs should be increased from current 1.69% of GDP to at least 7 percent of GDP which would be in line with other developing economies of the world. However the current government has given indications to reduce public spending on healthcare. A reduction in sectorial spending from current 1.69 percent of GDP to 1.29 percent is not advisable and will affect several public health assurance spending’s like RSBY ,Arogya Shree schemes etc. The tax exemption on preventive healthcare checkup should be increased to Rs. 20000 and should be independent of the premium of health insurance.”
Mr. Amol Naikawadi wish list includes:
• Tax exemption to be made a different category to justify government’s intension. The amount of Rs. 5000 should therefore be increased to Rs. 20000
• Corporates should also be incentivized for their interest in preventive measures for employees
• Government should make routine health check - up mandatory from the age of 25 years through healthcare programmes
• Need to create personal health records and encourage screening of diseases amongst the population
• Make it mandatory for schools & colleges for initiating health programmes for early screening, promoting positive health
