PAV State general secretary T. Kameswara Rao said WHO has been suggesting to governments around the world that at least 5% of their GDP should be allocated to the health sector. He appealed that the government increase the health budget to above 5%. The increased allocation should be spent on the government sector only, he said.

A.P. Medical and Sales Representatives Union (APMSRU) district president Chandrasekhar and vice-president Keshav were present.
