Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Saturday underlined the need to step up funding for the health sector and bring in equity in delivery of healthcare.
He was addressing the inaugural session of TechBharat 2021.

“Funding for the healthcare sector needs to be stepped up greatly and it has to be ensured that there is equity in the delivery of healthcare,” he said.
