India's Ayushman Bharat expands cancer care for the poor, but funding gaps persist despite recent reforms.
India’s Ayushman Bharat-PMJAY has expanded cancer care access for low-income and rural populations, covering over 68 lakh treatments worth ₹13,000 crore since 2018 and boosting timely treatment initiation by 90%.
However, annual cancer funding of ₹7,700 crore falls far short of the estimated ₹33,000 crore needed for full care.
A study recommends restructuring benefits with a ₹25 lakh five-year ceiling per family, adding a ₹10 lakh top-up for advanced cancers, and integrating diagnostics and screening to save ₹5,000 crore annually and prevent over 30,000 deaths.
Recent budget moves include 200 new day care centers and lower drug tariffs, signaling progress toward universal health coverage.
