Padma Shri Dr. Mukesh Batra, the founder of Dr. Batra's Healthcare, the largest chain of homoeopathy clinics in the world, has issued a call to action as India celebrates World Homoeopathy Day, which is observed on the birth anniversary of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homoeopathy. He has stated that homoeopathy must be at the centre of India's Viksit Bharat 2047 healthcare agenda.

India's vision of a developed nation by 2047 demands not just economic growth, but health sovereignty - accessible, affordable, and preventive care for 1.4 billion people. With healthcare spending at approximately Rs 1000 billion in Union Budget 2026–27 (~2% of GDP), and nearly 65% of health expenses borne out-of-pocket by citizens (estimated at Rs 5000 billion annually), cost-effective, safe, and scalable systems like homeopathy have never been more critical.
