Covid crisis may drive more funds to prop health sector

New Delhi, January 31 After Covid-19 showed how a public health crisis can lead to an economic and social crisis, the Union Budget is likely to reflect a shift in the government policy towards higher allocations to the sector where public spending hovers at a meagre 1 per cent of the GDP. Focus is expected on boosting primary health infrastructure, disease surveillance mechanisms and cutting out-of-pocket expenditures on health by strengthening the flagship Ayushman Bharat project which has two pillars – health and wellness centres at the primary level and cashless hospitalisation for 10 crore poor families with a financial cover of Rs 5 lakh a year.
