Great to see the government expanding into home healthcare services. My grandmother in a smaller town really struggles with mobility issues. If they can truly provide quality post-operative care and elderly support at home, it would be a game-changer for families like ours. Hope they roll this out beyond just Goa soon. 🤞
Impressive that HINDLABS has received CAP Accreditation. That's no small feat. And the trauma care centre in Odisha is a much-needed addition. My only concern is the accessibility — will these premium services be available only in metro cities? Rural areas need them more. Let's hope the distribution is equitable. 🙏
AMRIT has always been about 'jan aushadhi' (people's medicine). Now they're launching premium stores? I hope this doesn't dilute the core mission. We need affordable medicines for the common man, not another high-end chain. Let the private players do the luxury part. Focus on the basics, HLL! ⚠️
The genomics and molecular diagnostics part is really forward-thinking. In a country where we still fight basic infectious diseases, having access to advanced diagnostics like NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a big leap. Cost is the key — if they keep it affordable, this could revolutionise cancer care in India. 😊
As an expat living in India, I've often relied on private hospitals for quality care. It's good to see a public sector enterprise stepping up with premium offerings. The home healthcare service sounds promising — the kind of post-operative care they mention is often what's missing in many Indian
