Public Health Spending to be Increased to 2.5% of India’s GDP

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that India will increase its public health spending to 2.5% of its GDP by 2025. At present, the country spends a meagre 1.15% of its GDP on health.

Modi was attending the 2018 Partners’ Forum when he said that India is one of the first countries to pay a high level of attention to adolescence and roll out a comprehensive promotion and prevention scheme for adolescents. He also said that the immunization programme Mission Indradhanush has benefitted 8.4 million pregnant women and 32.8 million children in the past 3 years.
