&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The budgetary allocation for health was only 2.1% of the total Budget Estimates for 2022-2023.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Parliamentary%20Standing%20Committee%20Report%20no.%20134%20Rajya%20Sabha.pdf&quot;&gt;Parliamentary Standing Committee&lt;/a&gt; has raised concerns over &amp;ldquo;less priority&amp;rdquo; being accorded to the health sector in the Budget. The committee, headed by Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha member Ram Gopal Yadav, noted that &amp;ldquo;the budgetary allocation for the ministry of health and family welfare accounts for 2.1% of the total BE 2022-23 (Budget Estimates for 2022-2023) whereas the allocation for the ministry of defence is 13.3% of the total budgeted expenditure of the government in 2022-23&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The 134th Report of the Standing Committee on Health and Welfare, tabled in the Rajya Sabha on March 24, observed: &amp;ldquo;The committee realises that for a country like India with limited state and Central government funds, mobilisation of resources poses a big challenge. However, this should not deter the governments from increasing their health expenditure and according less priority to the health sector.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An analysis of the Budget provisions for ministries shows that India would spend six times (6.09 times to be precise) more on defence than on healthcare in 2022-2023. The allocation for defence this financial year is Rs 5,25,166.15 crore while the health budget is only Rs 82,600.65 crore. The total budget expenditure for 2022-2023 is Rs 39.45 lakh crore. Last year, the allocation for health was Rs 73,931.77 crore while the defence budget was Rs 4,78,195.62 (6.46 times more than health).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The committee further said that it is &amp;ldquo;not happy with the slow trend of increase in the share of the health budget&amp;rdquo;. As compared to the revised health budget for 2021-2022 of Rs 86000.65 crore, the allocation for health in 2022-2023 was only increased by Rs 200 crore.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The committee, comprising 30 members, including 13 from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), also took notice of the &amp;ldquo;poor state of health infrastructure&amp;rdquo; and expressed disappointment with the government&amp;rsquo;s lack of will for strengthening the health sector in wake of COVID-19. &amp;ldquo;The pandemic brought forth in open the poor state of health infrastructure and necessitated government&amp;rsquo;s focus and policy intervention to bridge infrastructure gaps to strengthen the healthcare facilities. It was anticipated that the ravages of the pandemic will bring the attention of the government to the rural-urban divide in healthcare services and their delivery.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The committee noted that despite the pandemic exposing the poor state of health infrastructure, &amp;ldquo;just a 0.2 % increase in the BE of 2022-23 in comparison to RE 2021-22 (Revised Estimates) reveals the reluctance of the government in addressing the immediate need of increasing public investment in the health sector&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The budgetary allocation for health was only 2.1% of the total Budget Estimates for 2022-2023.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Parliamentary%20Standing%20Committee%20Report%20no.%20134%20Rajya%20Sabha.pdf&quot;&gt;Parliamentary Standing Committee&lt;/a&gt; has raised concerns over &amp;ldquo;less priority&amp;rdquo; being accorded to the health sector in the Budget. The committee, headed by Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha member Ram Gopal Yadav, noted that &amp;ldquo;the budgetary allocation for the ministry of health and family welfare accounts for 2.1% of the total BE 2022-23 (Budget Estimates for 2022-2023) whereas the allocation for the ministry of defence is 13.3% of the total budgeted expenditure of the government in 2022-23&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The 134th Report of the Standing Committee on Health and Welfare, tabled in the Rajya Sabha on March 24, observed: &amp;ldquo;The committee realises that for a country like India with limited state and Central government funds, mobilisation of resources poses a big challenge. However, this should not deter the governments from increasing their health expenditure and according less priority to the health sector.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An analysis of the Budget provisions for ministries shows that India would spend six times (6.09 times to be precise) more on defence than on healthcare in 2022-2023. The allocation for defence this financial year is Rs 5,25,166.15 crore while the health budget is only Rs 82,600.65 crore. The total budget expenditure for 2022-2023 is Rs 39.45 lakh crore. Last year, the allocation for health was Rs 73,931.77 crore while the defence budget was Rs 4,78,195.62 (6.46 times more than health).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The committee further said that it is &amp;ldquo;not happy with the slow trend of increase in the share of the health budget&amp;rdquo;. As compared to the revised health budget for 2021-2022 of Rs 86000.65 crore, the allocation for health in 2022-2023 was only increased by Rs 200 crore.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The committee, comprising 30 members, including 13 from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), also took notice of the &amp;ldquo;poor state of health infrastructure&amp;rdquo; and expressed disappointment with the government&amp;rsquo;s lack of will for strengthening the health sector in wake of COVID-19. &amp;ldquo;The pandemic brought forth in open the poor state of health infrastructure and necessitated government&amp;rsquo;s focus and policy intervention to bridge infrastructure gaps to strengthen the healthcare facilities. It was anticipated that the ravages of the pandemic will bring the attention of the government to the rural-urban divide in healthcare services and their delivery.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The committee noted that despite the pandemic exposing the poor state of health infrastructure, &amp;ldquo;just a 0.2 % increase in the BE of 2022-23 in comparison to RE 2021-22 (Revised Estimates) reveals the reluctance of the government in addressing the immediate need of increasing public investment in the health sector&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The budgetary allocation for health was only 2.1% of the total Budget Estimates for 2022-2023.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Parliamentary%20Standing%20Committee%20Report%20no.%20134%20Rajya%20Sabha.pdf&quot;&gt;Parliamentary Standing Committee&lt;/a&gt; has raised concerns over &amp;ldquo;less priority&amp;rdquo; being accorded to the health sector in the Budget. The committee, headed by Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha member Ram Gopal Yadav, noted that &amp;ldquo;the budgetary allocation for the ministry of health and family welfare accounts for 2.1% of the total BE 2022-23 (Budget Estimates for 2022-2023) whereas the allocation for the ministry of defence is 13.3% of the total budgeted expenditure of the government in 2022-23&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The 134th Report of the Standing Committee on Health and Welfare, tabled in the Rajya Sabha on March 24, observed: &amp;ldquo;The committee realises that for a country like India with limited state and Central government funds, mobilisation of resources poses a big challenge. However, this should not deter the governments from increasing their health expenditure and according less priority to the health sector.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An analysis of the Budget provisions for ministries shows that India would spend six times (6.09 times to be precise) more on defence than on healthcare in 2022-2023. The allocation for defence this financial year is Rs 5,25,166.15 crore while the health budget is only Rs 82,600.65 crore. The total budget expenditure for 2022-2023 is Rs 39.45 lakh crore. Last year, the allocation for health was Rs 73,931.77 crore while the defence budget was Rs 4,78,195.62 (6.46 times more than health).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The committee further said that it is &amp;ldquo;not happy with the slow trend of increase in the share of the health budget&amp;rdquo;. As compared to the revised health budget for 2021-2022 of Rs 86000.65 crore, the allocation for health in 2022-2023 was only increased by Rs 200 crore.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The committee, comprising 30 members, including 13 from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), also took notice of the &amp;ldquo;poor state of health infrastructure&amp;rdquo; and expressed disappointment with the government&amp;rsquo;s lack of will for strengthening the health sector in wake of COVID-19. &amp;ldquo;The pandemic brought forth in open the poor state of health infrastructure and necessitated government&amp;rsquo;s focus and policy intervention to bridge infrastructure gaps to strengthen the healthcare facilities. It was anticipated that the ravages of the pandemic will bring the attention of the government to the rural-urban divide in healthcare services and their delivery.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The committee noted that despite the pandemic exposing the poor state of health infrastructure, &amp;ldquo;just a 0.2 % increase in the BE of 2022-23 in comparison to RE 2021-22 (Revised Estimates) reveals the reluctance of the government in addressing the immediate need of increasing public investment in the health sector&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p style="text-align:justify"><em>New Delhi: </em>A <a href="/upload/files/Parliamentary%20Standing%20Committee%20Report%20no.%20134%20Rajya%20Sabha.pdf">Parliamentary Standing Committee</a> has raised concerns over &ldquo;less priority&rdquo; being accorded to the health sector in the Budget. The committee, headed by Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha member Ram Gopal Yadav, noted that &ldquo;the budgetary allocation for the ministry of health and family welfare accounts for 2.1% of the total BE 2022-23 (Budget Estimates for 2022-2023) whereas the allocation for the ministry of defence is 13.3% of the total budgeted expenditure of the government in 2022-23&rdquo;.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The 134th Report of the Standing Committee on Health and Welfare, tabled in the Rajya Sabha on March 24, observed: &ldquo;The committee realises that for a country like India with limited state and Central government funds, mobilisation of resources poses a big challenge. However, this should not deter the governments from increasing their health expenditure and according less priority to the health sector.&rdquo;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">An analysis of the Budget provisions for ministries shows that India would spend six times (6.09 times to be precise) more on defence than on healthcare in 2022-2023. The allocation for defence this financial year is Rs 5,25,166.15 crore while the health budget is only Rs 82,600.65 crore. The total budget expenditure for 2022-2023 is Rs 39.45 lakh crore. Last year, the allocation for health was Rs 73,931.77 crore while the defence budget was Rs 4,78,195.62 (6.46 times more than health).</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The committee further said that it is &ldquo;not happy with the slow trend of increase in the share of the health budget&rdquo;. As compared to the revised health budget for 2021-2022 of Rs 86000.65 crore, the allocation for health in 2022-2023 was only increased by Rs 200 crore.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The committee, comprising 30 members, including 13 from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), also took notice of the &ldquo;poor state of health infrastructure&rdquo; and expressed disappointment with the government&rsquo;s lack of will for strengthening the health sector in wake of COVID-19. &ldquo;The pandemic brought forth in open the poor state of health infrastructure and necessitated government&rsquo;s focus and policy intervention to bridge infrastructure gaps to strengthen the healthcare facilities. It was anticipated that the ravages of the pandemic will bring the attention of the government to the rural-urban divide in healthcare services and their delivery.&rdquo;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The committee noted that despite the pandemic exposing the poor state of health infrastructure, &ldquo;just a 0.2 % increase in the BE of 2022-23 in comparison to RE 2021-22 (Revised Estimates) reveals the reluctance of the government in addressing the immediate need of increasing public investment in the health sector&rdquo;.</p>

Parliamentary Panel Flags Slow Increase in Health Budget -Priyanka Ishwari

-Newsclick.in The budgetary allocation for health was only 2.1% of the total Budget Estimates for 2022-2023. New Delhi: A Parliamentary Standing Committee has raised concerns over “less priority” being accorded to the health sector in the Budget. The committee, headed by Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha member Ram Gopal Yadav, noted that “the budgetary allocation for the ministry of health and family welfare accounts for 2.1% of the total BE 2022-23 (Budget Estimates for 2022-2023) whereas the allocation for the ministry of defence is 13.3% of the total budgeted expenditure of the government in 2022-23”.
