Finance is the Missing Layer in Healthcare

India's healthcare numbers have been showing a positive trend, with a decline in out-of-pocket expenditure as a share of total health spending. According to the ministry of health and family welfare's National Health Accounts estimates for 2022-23, this decline is attributed to schemes like Ayushman Bharat and external funding. The government credits these schemes for the improvement in healthcare numbers, which is a welcome trend for the country.
