Give infra status to healthcare: Metropolis Health
The Health Care Industry has long been requesting Government of India to provide infrastructure status to this industry, says Dr G.S.K Velu, Managing Director, Metropolis Health Services
"The Health Care Industry has long been requesting Government of India to provide infrastructure status to this industry. Apart from that there should be special incentives and concessional interest rate should be given for hospitals & diagnostic centres being established in smaller towns & rural areas. Government should also provide special tax concessions for encouraging Public Private Partnership initiatives in the health care industry. Also, Excise Duty & VAT being charged on Medical Equipments & speciality medical consumables should be completely removed to reduce cost of diagnosis & treatment thereby making it accessible to the larger section of the society"
