Analysis Of BJP's Promise from 2019
MOVING TO THE NEXT SECTOR
5. HEALTH
Promise 1 - Establishment of 1.5 Lakh health and wellness Centers under Ayushman Bharat
Till date about 1.7 Lakh centers are operational across the nation providing free essential medications and diagnostic services.
Conclusion - FULFILLED ✅
Promise 2 - Poshan Abhiyaan
Objective was to reduce malnutrition, anaemia, low birth weight and stunting. Anganwadi centers has been established but out of 14 Lakh centers currently 11 Lakh have functional toilets and 12.2 Lakh have drinking water.
With the help of Poshan Abhiyaan, stunting has decreased from 38.4 % to 35.5% , wasting has decreased from 21.0% to 19.3% and underweight prevalence has decreased from 35.8% to 32.1%
Conclusion - ON TRACK ✅
Promise 3 - Elimination Of Tuberculosis (TB)
In India TB incidence reduced by 16% in 2022 compared to 2015, but it is still far from WHO target. Also TB related deaths decreased by 18% in 2022 compared to 2015. Although India is done good in TB detection but it is likely to miss the WHO goal of reduction of deaths by 75% in 2025.
Conclusion - PARTIALLY FULFILLED
Promise 4 - 75 new medical colleges/Post Graduate medical colleges
This scheme was implemented to build 75 new medical colleges in various aspirational districts. Till now more than 150 colleges have been sanctioned.
Conclusion - FULFILLED ✅
Promise 5 - Healthcare enhancement through digital means(including telemedicine)
The market of telemedicine have seen a boom during the pandemic making the market value to 1.1 billion dollars in 2022. The digital mission focuses on unique health identification and electronic health records. The government faces issues between the gap of rural and urban services.
Conclusion - PARTIALLY FULFILLED
Promise 6 - Child Care Facilities
India has the largest number of orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC) in South Asia, approaching a concerning 30 million. In the absence of a robust foster care system and other family-based alternatives, Child Care Institutions (CCIs), commonly referred to as ‘orphanages,’ remain the only viable option for child protection in the country. Only 32% of child care institutions were registered under the JJ Act (2015), leading to a significant number of unregistered institutions.
Conclusion - NOT FULFILLED ❌
Overall in Health sector BJP has done a good work but there is a place for betterment always. The main concern is monitoring the gap between the rural and urban services provided.
