Fewer children are dying at birth not just in urban areas but also in rural regions. The infant mortality rate, widely accepted as a crude indicator of the health scenario of a country, fell from 58% (infant deaths per 1,000 live births) in 2008 to 37% in 2017 in rural areas, while birth rate came down to 21.8% from 24.4% during the same period in those areas. Death rate declined during the decade. The rate of decline in these years has been higher in rural areas (around 14.5%) than in urban areas (10.5%).
The Centre has made an outlay of ₹64,999 crore for health in FY20, 16% higher than the FY19 revised estimates. Of this, ₹33,651 crore is set aside for the government’s flagship scheme, the National Health Mission. It is an umbrella plan that now counts Ayushman Bharat, the world’s largest healthcare scheme, as its core plan to make medical care affordable for all. This guarantees eligible families cover for inpatient costs of up to ₹5 lakh annually. It will be implemented in conjunction with existing state insurance schemes
