“The 2024 budget highlighted the need for investments in the healthcare sector. The focus is on preventive care, women’s health, infrastructure expansion, and child development. In order to protect women’s health, the budget promotes cervical cancer prevention by encouraging vaccination for girls aged 9-14.  The budget proposes establishing more medical colleges by utilizing existing hospital infrastructure to address the increasing demand for medical professionals. It also plans to establish new nursing colleges alongside recently established medical colleges. There are plans outlined to upgrade Anganwadi centers and implement a comprehensive maternal and child healthcare program in recognition of the significance of early childhood development. To ensure wider coverage of immunization, the budget introduces the U-Win platform to improve immunization program management and intensifies Mission Indradhanush with the goal of achieving higher immunization rates across the country. We also need some measures to address challenges such as shortage of healthcare facilities in rural areas, and awareness toward NCDs that lead to life-threatening complications and deaths. Apart from that, some important points such as mental health, telemedicine and robotic surgeries that are minimally invasive and give successful outcomes can be included in the July budget. Overall, this budget is satisfying and can help to strengthen the healthcare system of the country especially considering it is an interim budget”
