Allocation for the Health Sector


As per the draft 12th Five Year Plan document of Planning Commission, the projections for the Twelfth Plan envisage increasing total public funding by the Centre and States, plan and non-plan, on core health from 1.04 per cent of GDP in 2011-12 to 1.87 per cent of GDP by the end of the Twelfth Plan. The tentative allocation for 12th Five Year Plan for Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is Rs.300018 crore.

A higher growth in Gross Domestic Product enhances the resource base of the government and its ability to incur higher expenditure in keeping with the sectoral priorities and coverage envisaged.

This information was given by Minister for Health & Family Welfare Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad in written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha 11.12.12
