New Delhi, July 06, 2019: “The budget may not be the expected one for the healthcare segment but it is a fairly decent one. The overall health allocation has gone up from Rs 63538 Cr in the interim budget to Rs 64999 Cr in 2019-20. A raise of Rs. 1750 cr may not look very promising on papers but when we see it in context to previous years’ budget allocation of Rs. 54668 Cr, it is a YOY increase of Rs. 10000 Cr. With an increasing number of claims and popularity of Ayushman Bharat, a scheme-specific announcement would have been ideal.”
