This significant event will bring together key stakeholders to discuss and advocate for crucial issues such as healthcare reforms, labour rights, and privacy concerns.
Inaugural Session Highlights
The conference will commence with an inaugural session presided over by Com. Ramesh Sundar, President of FMRAI. Esteemed leaders including Dr. Sanjay Nagral, Dr. D L Karad, and Dr. Ashok Dhawale will deliver addresses, setting the tone for the discussions ahead. The session aims to unite trade union and mass organization leaders to deliberate on pressing issues impacting the healthcare and labour sectors.
Key Demands for Healthcare Reforms
One of the primary focuses of the conference will be on healthcare reforms. FMRAI is advocating for several critical measures to improve healthcare accessibility and affordability:
- Reducing Prices of All Medicines: Ensuring that essential medicines are affordable for all citizens.
- Zero GST on Medicines: Eliminating the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on medicines to reduce the financial burden on patients.
- Allocating 5% of National GDP to Healthcare: Increasing the national budget allocation for healthcare to enhance the quality and reach of medical services.
These reforms are seen as vital steps towards achieving a more equitable healthcare system in India.
Advocating for Labour Rights
In addition to healthcare reforms, the conference will address significant labour rights issues. FMRAI is calling for:
- Scrapping the Four Labour Codes: Advocating for the removal of the four labour codes that are perceived to undermine workers' rights.
- Restoring the Repealed 29 Labour Statutes: Reinstating previously repealed labour laws to ensure fair labour practices and protect workers' rights.
These measures aim to safeguard the interests of workers across various industries and promote fair labour practices.
Addressing Privacy Concerns
