2. Strengthening Healthcare System
The immediate response and evacuation strategy due to Covid19 taken by the government is
already been defamed and excoriated by critics, undoubtedly ascertaining to be an immense
mismanagement, inadequate amplification, and unprofessional embodiment in several
dimension. However, we’re combating to stabilize the consequences of Covid19. As the future
concerns, several post pandemic policies and repercussion measures commencing vigilant
consideration. Throughout this policy proposition, I would evident based on accessibility, digital
transformation, and sustainability to conclude an incentive consummation.
Researchand Development 1st Strategy: According to United Nations Office for Disarmament
Affairs (UNODA), [ref 1] the prohibition towards developing nuclear, chemical, or biological
weapons and sudden aggression by Covid19 proved its impact on social, economic, and political
context. However, for study and preventive purposes, Research and Development undergoing in
developing/developed nations with established agenda in mind. We can understand significance
of this cue by analyzing the devastating sequel of Covid19. To be frank – it can wipe out a nation
and the threat is imminent. Therefore, we must congruent on few clauses of purpose such as
“Research and Development 1st Strategy” where –
 Our Healthcare would adopt in a 10/15 years long ‘Government Investment-Based’
research oriented ‘Human Resource Development Program’ by 2020 as part of 100 years
birthday celebration of Father of The Nation.
 The Development Expenditure for ‘Healthcare’ would emerge from 5.8% to at least
14.5% in 2020-21 fiscal year, balancing with the enhanced ‘Social Security and Welfare’
expenses minimum of 5.5% - which was 2.7% in 2019-20 fiscal year. [ref 2]
 Governmental Investment towards Research & Development for Virology, Bacteriology,
Epidemiology, Nuclear Medicine, Preventive Healthcare and Pharmacology would obtain no
less than 30% of total expenditure for “Healthcare” in 2020-21 fiscal year budget.
 A nationwide distributed, subdivided, and accessible research facility would commence
for intellectual academics, teaching assistants, and students from medical, biology,
pharmacy, chemistry, computer science or related fields - whom will be assigned to a
substantial research project. Upon accomplishment of this persuasive task, 1000+ qualified
researchers would recherche into PhD/Doctorate positions in existing system and research
labs.
 To ensure self-dependent National HealthCare Security and detain talent trafficking in
lieu of foreign studies, project-based funding and upon their invention/discoveries, further
research scheme would be extended for deserving personnel. In other words, we’ll
remunerate our talented minds for thesis, research, and they would provide us next virologic
breakthrough, preventive medicine, and strategic contrivance to become methodized for
future crisis and pandemic.
 Our impulsion would be - “We'll be a scientist, we’ll invent things. We’ll renovate on top
of our innovations and encourage others to collaborate and support our research and
development first strategy.” Remember –
“A country without a robust research infrastructure is always a country of bottomless
basket”

3. Universal Health Insurance Policy (UHIP): An App Based Nationwide Universal Health
Insurance Policy and Online Tracking System (OTS) under Social Safety Net Program (SSNP)
would be developed using NID. Every legal citizen aged between 18-65 would be graced by the
UHIP which will be issued by his/her employed company, obligatorily by January 15. Citizens
aged under 18 and above 65 will get free healthcare access under the Social Safety Net Program.
(Kindly refer to my submitted paper regarding – “Boosting Social Safety Net Programs”)
 UHIP will be mandatory for government, non-government (Financial, Healthcare, Law
Enforcement, RMG and Educational) Institution’s employees and staffs (including students
and workers), whom government can enforce, trace, and normalize at scale. This first step
would cover up 1.3 million government employees, 3.6 million garments workers and
another 12+ million student. [ref 3,4,5]
 Family members of 1st cohort enrolled members would come under the umbrella of UHIP
coverage during 2nd enrollment scheme. Chain Rule would apply on current beneficiaries to
recoup and complete enrollment of entire population under insurance plan.
 SSNP and UHIP would be strictly considered. Anyone without UHIP would not be able
to admit into schools, hospitals, and govt/private jobs. Government and private businesses
would be liable for ensuring its employees’ UHIP coverage, enduring the expense of health
insurance of its employees in addition to their salary while recruiting.
 Under this health coverage, citizens would obtain a package of free healthcare services
both in private and public healthcare institutions including medical checkup, tests, medicine,
and supplementary equipment where applicable.
Blockchain and IOT BasedMonitoring System (BIMS): To ensure scalable, transparent and
consistent healthcare services to prospective patients regardless of gender, age, sex, race, or
ethnicity, an IOT and blockchain based system would amplify on top of existing medical
infrastructure and government services. Where -
 On duty doctors, nurses, and medical related professionals are obliged to wear an IOT
device while that would monitor in real time what they’re doing or saying, and recorded data
will be stored in Cloud for analysis and investigation. Anyone found in duty without that
device would eventuality in dismissal from job or even further punishment. [ref 8]
 Collected data would jurisprudence in Big Data Analytics to acquire oversight of existing
system and transgress, using Predictive Analytics and Data Science. The punishment and
amercement for violating the UHIP and BIMS would be excessive and stringent.
 Blockchain based distributed Medical Record System would be flourished which will
ensure proper ongoing care of the patients and paramount of effective communication
between healthcare professionals and their patients as parts of quality service.
Artificial Intelligence BasedIntelligent Healthcare (AIIH): Artificial Intelligence and
Machine Learning is the future of medical radiology/pathological disease detection/prevention
during benign stage. Such as - Prediction of breakdown, vulnerabilities and risk of a patient
based on previous medical records, disease detection from imaging (Detection of tumor/ broken
bones or cancer cells from radiology) or pathological data. Therefore, reliability, democratization
and scalability in mass health monitoring using Ai and Data would lead up to the Futuristic Tech
Triumph in healthcare by implementing following policies -

4.  Obligatory incorporation of AI based disease detection systems in Cardiology, Cancer,
Neurology, and Orthopedic department as minutely developed AI model can perform twice
as intelligently as Human Doctor, restlessly 24/7 at scale. [ref 6]
 Implementation of, day to day submission and inspection of medical data to the ministry
using AI and democratization of it would prosper in minimum of 98% satisfactory outcome
in healthcare and would uncover the delusion and oversight of wrong treatment. [ref 7]
Decentralized and Distributed Medical Supply Chain: Emerging need of medical equipment,
medicine, and necessary materials at astronautical scale claims utmost necessary of
establishment of a congruent decentralized and distributed medical supply chain. Where -
 Decentralization in supply chain would save government from overbudgeting, syndicate
and post tender legal trap by supplier businesses around 46%. [ref 9]
 In addition to that, distributed supply policy would save a tremendous amount of time
and thus would reduce the ETA (estimated time of arrival) of medical equipment to the
hospitals and transportation cost around 18%. On stock medical equipment would ensure,
96% on time treatment as per need and thus, retain conviction and trust of the patients.
[ref 10]
Conclusion: Finally, two things to consider immensely – first, we as a nation is already few
decades behind from what India or United States is achieving in R&D field. So, government
correspond to self-dependent in Research and Development. Second, dependency towards
private Businesses or Organizations results in capitalism, economic discrimination and losing
governmental influence over healthcare. I’ve endeavored to affirm pressing challenges ahead of
us and preventive norm to ascertain the best preparation upfront to equipage and propagate our
strategies. Enduring human resource development, upliftment in research, synthesis of law
enforcement authorities, and competent provision of operating body would commence the
fulfilment of these policies. Therefore, A nation of over 180 million citizen demands prudent and
intellectual leadership to liberate healthcare sector from controversy and corruption.
