Rahul Gandhi promises right to healthcare law, if Congress voted to power

Hindustan Times  

The Congress will roll out a universal Right to Healthcare law, entitling people to free diagnostics and medicines through a network of public hospitals, if it comes to power in the summer’s general elections, party president Rahul Gandhi said on Friday. Speaking at the concluding session of a two-day convention on ‘Health for Al’l organised by the Raipur-based Mayaram Surjan Foundation, he added that the party, if voted to power, would more than double government spending on healthcare to about 3% of gross domestic product and expand the number of trained medical professionals to provide high-quality services. From health being considered a fundamental right, which was mentioned in the original draft, the revised policy “assured healthcare to all’, with the implementation left largely to states, they added. Gandhi criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party -led National Democratic Alliance government’s flagship health insurance scheme Ayushman Bharat, saying the initiative dealt with a limited number of healthcare issues.
