Dr. SHREERAJ DESHPANDE helps me navigate through the challenges posed to health insurance in the times of #Climatebreakdown. The world’s most populous country, diabetes capital, dealing with obesity, malnutrition, ageing – now coping with heat and humidity, poor air quality, water crunch and a missing health regulator.
Could the growing focus on increased penetration hit a wall – as some geographies pose a serious threat to human health? Needless to mention, a rising number of senior citizens are left out of the safety network; gig workers have no protection and primary healthcare in much of the country has disintegrated.
“7,000 people slip into poverty every hour in India because of catastrophic health expenses”.
Shreeraj believes health insurance is here to stay and innovation holds the key.
