आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री जी, हमारे देश में बहुत अच्छे हाईवे बनाए गए हैं तथा बनाए जा रहे हैं तेज स्पीड से चलने के कारण दुर्घटना भी अधिक होती हैं, कृपया प्रत्येक 100 किलोमीटर पर हाईवे पर एक छोटा ट्रामा सेंटर अवश्य बनवाएं जिस पर एक एडवांस एम्बुलेंस एक डॉक्टर अथवा पैरामेडिकल उपलब्ध हो तथा जीवन रक्षक औषधि एवं ऑक्सीजन की व्यवस्था हो ताकि दुर्घटना में घायल व्यक्तियों एवं गंभीर रूप से घायल व्यक्तियों की जान बचाई जा सके, अभी एंबुलेंस द्वारा उनको किसी भी शहर के अंदर जाने में काफी समय निकल जाता है।

There is a strong need to have some other provisions too, such as making medicines available to the common people at affordable prices. The medicine delivery networks should be strengthened. Free delivery of medicines and medical equipment should be made available to those who cannot afford them, and fair priced medicine and medical equipment shops should be opened in large numbers.

The government should also do something to stop exploitation of patients by private hospitals that has been reportedly on the increase. It must be ensured that these hospitals are also accessible, equitable, and affordable for the common people. Public healthcare systems also need such measures to ease the burden and heavy load and to make it transparent.

Large number of people are required to be trained in health profession to enable the country to deal with the present as well as future emergencies. For this we need to open more medical and nursing colleges in the country. Sanitation, hygiene and preventive healthcare training centres are also required. There must have special provisions for this in this very budges

India needs to increase public spending on healthcare system upto at least 10 per cent of the GDP, and according to some about 14 per cent against average of 1.26 per cent for the last three year. Apart from increasing the number of hospital infrastructure, upgradation of the existing ones are badly required. It is important because most of the people in our country have no option but to go to public hospitals due to lack of financial resources..

The announcement of the new Centrally-funded scheme, PM Swasthya Yojana, with an outlay of ₹64,180 crore, will strengthen and develop primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare facilities even in the last miles of our nation. I hope the government partners with private healthcare to hasten this process and strengthen health services across the country.

We must now look at the next crisis of non-communicable diseases, which will be responsible for 80% of deaths and cause a US$3.8 trillion burden to the country by 2030.
