While
louding the Growing Indian Economy , Shri Jay Narayan Vyas
said that :
“We are a
growing nation.. Economically we are 10th largest economy
in the world. The fact of life is, we have single largest
free market in world & an economy which is a growing urban
economy. If I go by planning commission deputy chairman’s
statement , he says that in coming 11th 5 year plan, we
will double the outlay on the healthcare."
“What does
it mean? It means you are going to have increased spending
as far as the government patronization to the healthcare
is concerned. And if you take that multiplier effect of 5,
I always take it in very conservative side normally it
should have 1:10, because the private healthcare is much
more larger.
“I think
the greatest beneficiaries of economic growth should be a
person who is there on the ground, who is travelling, who
is part of his country & who is not going to go away from
this , the day adversities arise & whose stake is there as
far as this country is concerned. I think we must approach
this problem with a human face with practicality & with an
understanding that you are going to face increasingly a
market which is going to be more expanding, urbanized &
per capita spending on healthcare is going to increase.
About
Changing Pace Of Medical Technology
He cited
few advances which are being made.
“In the
Blood Sugar level control through a kind of intelligence
system fitted, if your blood sugar level rises,
automatically signal is sent out to nearest control base
station & your insulin pump is activated to bring down
your blood sugar level to desired level/parameters”.
“If your
cardiogram undergoes a change, immediately , the nearest
control station is activated & the doctor knows that there
is an emergency as far as the patient is concerned.”
“So this
are the kind of uses which are now already invoked & in
the coming years, new materials are going to be
increasingly used as far as the human organs & as far as
the aged population & their treatment is also concerned.”
