Aarthi Scans Welcomes Union Budget for Healthcare Focus
Chennai, Feb 1 (UNI): Mr. V. Govindarajan, Founder and Managing Director of Aarthi Scans and Labs, congratulated the Union Government on the Budget 2026–27 for its clear, investment-led focus on strengthening healthcare capacity.
He welcomed the recognition of diagnostics as a critical pillar of preventive care and timely treatment. The expansion of Allied Health Professional institutions and the addition of one lakh professionals across radiology and allied disciplines are expected to directly address the skilled manpower gap faced by diagnostic networks as they scale into tier-2 and tier-3 markets.
Govindarajan also noted that the emphasis on training multi-skilled caregivers and strengthening geriatric care will further support preventive testing, chronic disease monitoring, and home-based diagnostics.
He highlighted that the proposed Regional Medical Value Tourism hubs, integrating diagnostics with clinical care, research, education, and AYUSH, signal a strong push toward globally competitive healthcare ecosystems. “Together, these measures give providers like Aarthi Scans and Labs the confidence to invest in advanced platforms, wider networks, and deeper outreach,” he said.
