Abstract

This paper looks at the health system in India under the NDA government, specifically focusing on health-related schemes, with a close examination of Ayushman Bharat. It additionally looks at how privatization and the health system have become intertwined and the path India is currently taking. It investigates the above by contesting India’s funding of healthcare and its prioritization of Ayushman Bharat over other health schemes, much to the country’s detriment. It concludes with the opinion that the current emphasis on privatization and Ayushman Bharat, instead of focusing on bettering the provision of primary healthcare, will only further deteriorate the already-failing Indian health system.
