IMA for better health care for people
Ludhiana, January 28 In a letter making pre-budget suggestions to the Union Finance Minister, Mr P Chidhambaram, the national vice-president of the IMA, Dr Gursharan Singh, said that it was essential that substantial investments were made in the health sector. "The IMA is deeply concerned about the deteriorating health of its people. This is shameful that so many people die of cold and heat wave, floods in rainy season and many other natural calamities. The recent quake at Indo-Pak borders is recent example of the human misery of our people. I am very sorry to state that our country is focusing on infrastructure to be used by human beings. At the same time it is not worried about the people who are to use this infrastructure", he said. He pointed out: "This makes our position very awkward at the international level, as we have not been able to check the infant mortality rate, maternal mortality rate and our figures are far alarming as compared to our counter-parts in the SAARC region, who are considered poorer than us. We are still fighting against the menace of polio myelitis whereas it has been eradicated from the developed countries many decades before." The suggestions made by the IMA to the Finance Minister include allocation of significant percentage of the GDP to the health sector, starting health schemes for the poor and slum dwellers, boosting health insurance, decreasing custom duties on health equipment to zero per cent, reducing excise on health equipment, removing local taxes on health equipment, providing tax benefits to private health providers giving subsidized treatment to poor people, launching health bonds on the pattern of infrastructure bonds and spending that money exclusively on health, making annual health checkup mandatory for employees working in corporate sector, giving tax rebates to individuals on the money spent on health on the pattern of school fee of the kids, zero custom duty and subsidizing life saving equipment like ventilators, cardiac and monitors, encouraging the endeavors like that of IMA, Rotary and Lions Clubs for developing management groups at the local and state level and fixing responsibility of the corporates for its employees insurance.
