New Delhi: The government has allocated Rs 99,858.56 crore for the healthcare sector in the 2025-2026 Budget, marking an 11% increase from the revised Rs 89,974.12 crore in FY 2024-25. This boost in funding will support key initiatives, including infrastructure expansion, the Ayushman Bharat scheme, and allocations for the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi.

The finance minister further announced that gig workers will be provided healthcare facilities under PM Jan Aarogya Yojana (PM-JAY) that would benefit nearly 1 crore such workers.

In addition to the increased funding, the government announced plans to establish daycare cancer centres at district hospitals across the country over the next three years, with 200 centres set to be established in the 2025-26 year alone.

Presenting the Budget for 2025-2026 on Saturday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said 10,000 seats will be added in medical colleges next year towards the goal of adding 75,000 seats in the next five years, reports PTI.

As a relief on the import of drugs/medicines, 36 lifesaving drugs for treating cancer, rare diseases and chronic diseases have been fully exempted from basic customs duty (BCD). The government had earlier cut customs duty on Trastuzumab Deruxtecan, Osimertinib and Durvalumab from 10 per cent to zero.

Medical tourism and 'Heal in India' will be promoted in partnership with the private sector along with capacity building and easier visa norms, Sitharaman said in her speech.

The budgetary allocation for the AYUSH ministry has been increased from Rs 3,497.64 crore to Rs 3,992.90 crore, recording a 14.15 per cent increase.

Of the Rs 99,858.56 crore allocated for the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Rs 95,957.87 crore have been earmarked for the Department of Health and Family Welfare and Rs 3,900.69 crore to the Department of Health Research.

Among the centrally sponsored schemes, the allocation for the National Health Mission has been increased from Rs 36,000 crore in 2024-25 to Rs 37,226.92 crore in 2025-26.
