Karnataka's health budget allocates money for public health, tertiary care, preventive care, screening camps, and more infrastructure.
With assurances of completion of earlier announced health schemes this year, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday, 17 February, presented a budget that gave a push to the health sector in a big way.
While a majority of the announcements were praised by health experts, they also expressed concern over its implementation and pointed out a few areas where the state has failed to focus.
