Allocation for family welfare schemes saw a 35% increase
Even as the overall increase in budget allocation in health sector is marginal, family welfare schemes have seen a rise of a whopping 35 per cent indicating the community approach taken by the government. Mission Indradhanush, India’s Universal Immunization Programme, Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK) that provides free drugs, diagnostics, blood, diet and Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) that provides newborn and child health screening, are a few examples of family welfare schemes.
