With more and more poor people in the country getting into the debt trap due to medical expenses, Ficci today said steps needs to be taken to increase health insurance penetration, which currently covers only 15 per cent population.
The chamber said that affordability of healthcare across the pyramid is extremely pertinent and critical to achieve the goal of providing quality healthcare to the masses.
“The long-term vision to make quality healthcare affordable for the country should be to increase the health insurance penetration to at least 50 per cent of population by the year 2020 and 80 per cent by the year 2030,” Ficci said.
