Today when the country is fighting such a big war against Corona, doctors have saved millions of lives by working hard day and night. Many doctors of the country have also laid down their lives while doing this virtuous work. I pay my humble tribute to all these doctors who laid down their lives and express my condolences to the families.

This year, the allocation of the budget for the health sector has been more than doubled to more than two lakh crore rupees.

The health budget is generally considered as the budget of the “Ministry of Health”. It was 65,000 cr. in the year 2020 and increase to just 5,000 cr. And not doubled. What the government did to “Double” is that they have changed the definition of “Health”. Now the Sanitation, water, etc also comes under health.
