Reacting to the Union Budget 2022, Medanta Chairman-Managing Director Dr Naresh Trehan said that there was very little mention of healthcare in the Budget and none of the other issues was addressed.

He said, “If you look at Budget, there's very little mention of healthcare. 2-3 things help us - one is the fact that the skilling initiative has been intensified, it's good. We need skilled manpower to assist with the healthcare system.”

He further added, “But beyond that, none of the other issues were addressed in this Budget. The basic thing is that there are 3-4 things that need to be moved forward. We have to be very well prepared for these kinds of events (Covid) happening again. So a robust infrastructure is needed.”
