Question

Write one scope of improvement in the health and well being budget.​

Answer 1

Answer:

In most middle-income countries, average health spending per person is already adequate to ensure

universal coverage for essential interventions. Yet such coverage does not reach many of the poor.

Exclusion is often concentrated by region (e.g., rural western China and rural northeast Brazil),

or among ethnic and racial minorities. For whatever reason, public-sector spending on health does

not attend sufficiently to the needs of the poor. Moreover, since many middle-income countries

provide inadequate financial protection for large portions of their population, catastrophic

medical expenses impoverish many households. In view of the adverse consequences of ill health

on overall economic development and poverty reduction, we strongly urge the middle-income

countries to undertake fiscal and organizational reforms to ensure universal coverage for priority

health interventions.6 We also believe that the World Bank and the regional development banks,

through nonconcessional financing, can help these countries to make a multi-year transition to

universal coverage for essential health services.1

Answer 2

Improvement can be the allocation of more funds towards medicines and vaccinations.

• It represents a statement of future plans for health and well-being, expressed in quantitative and monetary terms for a specified period of time.
• Currently, the government has risen the healthcare budget from around 94 thousand crores to around two lakh crores.
• This is due to budgeted provisions for Covid vaccines as well as an increase in water and sanitation expenses.
• Further, the budget can be improved in medical facility allocation terms to both middle and lower levels.
