Indu Bhushan, CEO of Ayushman Bharat:
- About 70 per cent of the health services in the country are being provided by the private services which are not accessible to economically poor people.
- More private health services lead to 'Out of the pocket' spend which leads to delay in treatment for poor people as there is affordability ssue and a lot of the times they discontinue the treatment.
- Ayushman Bharat aims at providing access to health services to poor people by using both public and private sector hospitals.
