Paving the path towards universal health coverage
Hindustan Times Haryana|December 19, 2024
International Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day falls in December. For India, the road to UHC starts with increasing government spending on health, a national priority as per the government's policy documents.

The Ayushman Bharat programme provides the structure for translating such investment into concrete outcomes for the people. It includes Ayushman Arogya Mandirs for comprehensive primary health services—promotive, preventive, curative, palliative and rehabilitative care—without incurring any financial burden. It also features the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) which uses the health insurance model to provide access to secondary and tertiary health care to nearly 50% of the population. These are ambitious policies that depend on an improved fiscal context and coordinated governance across the central and state governments. Directed investments towards strengthening institutional governance and capacities for regulation, quality control, enforcement, fraud control, grievance redressal and research have to be prioritised.
