There should be a policy bridging the public and private healthcare units. There should be emphasis on providing the solution for Catastrophic health expenditure. Also not much is being done In the field of oral health ,care and hygiene . Also major oral procedures are not insuranced or schemed. My detailed perspective on health budget 2021 is attached as a file with this comment. Kindly refer to the attached PDF . Thank you.

Due to pandemic,primary health centres are already overwhelmed due to the public health crisis and face severe shortage of resources, inadequate health services due lack of basic supplies. The country needs more public hospitals and the focus needs to shift from disease management to health management, patient education and prevention.During this pandemic, doctors, surgeons and all healthcare workers have been under tremendous stress.

MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH STATUS IS DECLINING and their nutrition status is clearly can be understood by NHFS-5 !This need huge attention as it increasing disease burden. The Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) has no increment in allocation from last year. This was because the utilisation was but 50 per cent within the last fiscal year. The necessity to upgrade and expand public sector ,hospital capacity across the country, to enable greater utilisation of PMJAY funded services.

Latest NHFS survey has brought attention to nutrition status. But still the budgeted expenditure on nutrition sees a decrease within the allocation, though it’s above the quantity actually utilised last year. Merger of existing nutrition programmes into Mission Poshan-2, with an intensified strategy to enhance nutrition outcomes in 112 Aspirational Districts, is welcome but must protected with adequate resourcing and efficiency in delivery.

India has a severe shortage of healthcare workers. There is one doctor for every 1,445 Indians as per the country’s current populatioIndia's share on public expenditure on health as percentage of the GDP is far too low than other countries.India has a “long way to go” to achieve its target of public health spending, its primary health infrastructure is inadequate, and the country faces a dearth of data to track its progress to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for health by 2030.

Respected Sir, The condition of healthcare system in rural areas is to poor to explain. People have to travel miles for a simple health care problem. In the emergency case they have to spend lots of money for going in hospital situated in big cities. The government should make an arrangement of at least one health centre including doctors, nurses and pathological laboratory in every village panchayat for essential and better treatment of citizens of rural areas.

While our country and rulers are striving hard to "provide equitable health for all" and working towards the same in providing new facilities, awareness programs, door visits etc, there is massive number of people working towards achieving this. There has to be a strong manpower maintenance policy for this aspect as most of the workers in ground line are not happy with present policy. Here, monitoring implementation of such policies of government is crucial as well to manage manpower.

There is no fund allocated for the welfare of tea plantation workers in Kerala in the budget 2021-22. In Peermede taluk(Idukki district), tea plantation workers are living a hellish life without basic amenities and specialized hospitals. Sir, can you please announce a special health package for them?.
