NATHEALTH has called for a significant increase in healthcare spending in the Union Budget 2026–27, aiming for public health expenditure to exceed 2.5% of GDP. With India facing a 65% share of deaths from chronic diseases, the organization emphasizes the need for transformative reforms to address the growing burden of non-communicable diseases. This push could enhance market sentiment in the healthcare sector.
• 100 million people live with diabetes
