HOW THE QUOTA FOR THE ECONOMICALLY WEAKER SECTION (EWS) IS BEING DENIED | Dr. Teena Sharma | Candid Confessions

Many hospitals were allotted land at highly subsidized rates or free of cost on the condition that they provide a significant portion of their services to the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS). Yet, according to DR. TEENA SHARMA, Founder of the Pink and Blue Foundation (NGO), many of these commitments remain unfulfilled. She shares her daily struggle to ensure that underprivileged patients receive the healthcare access they were promised, while highlighting how some hospitals have sought reductions in these obligations by citing financial losses.The challenges don't end with healthcare. While the Right to Education (RTE) Act guarantees free education up to Grade 8, gaps in implementation and practical hurdles often prevent children from fully benefiting from these provisions.Can policy alone create change, or does accountability need to play a bigger role?Watch this thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Teena Sharma and share your perspective in the comments.Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE.GUEST: DR.
