As the Union Budget approaches, it is essential to prioritize reforms that make healthcare more accessible and affordable. At Dentalkart, we support a revision of the current GST structure on healthcare products, particularly those taxed at 18%.
Dental and medical supplies are vital for public health and should not be categorized as luxury items. Implementing a uniform GST rate of 5% across all healthcare products would significantly reduce costs for both providers and patients. This would ensure essential medical and dental supplies remain affordable and accessible, ultimately fostering a healthier nation.
Reducing GST on healthcare products is not merely an economic reform but a commitment to public well-being. Such a move would also support the growth of the healthcare sector by encouraging innovation, enhancing service delivery, and enabling healthcare professionals to deliver better care.
