Concerns of fiscal sustainability may affect large up-scaling of
public sector expenditure. However, Government of India under
its Common Minimum Program had committed to raise public
health expenditure to 3% of GDP [39] which was again reiterated
in the 11th Five Year Plan [40]. India’s economy has grown at
more than 6% consistently over the last 3 decades, with the rate of
increase reaching 8% in last few years [1].
