What is the News?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The World Bank is lending up to $1 billion to help India with preparedness for future pandemics as well as to strengthen its health infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> India\u2019s performance in health has improved over time. According to the World Bank estimates, India\u2019s life expectancy has increased from 58 in 1990 to 69.8 in 2020. This is higher than average for the country\u2019s income level.<\/span><\/p>\n

How will the World Bank lend India to strengthen its health infrastructure?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The lending will be divided into two complementary loans of $500 million each:<\/span><\/p>\n

The first $500-million Public Health Systems for Pandemic Preparedness Program (PHSPP)<\/b> will support the government\u2019s efforts to prepare India\u2019s surveillance system to detect and report epidemics of potential international concern.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another $500 million Enhanced Health Service Delivery Program(EHSDP) <\/b>will support the government\u2019s efforts to strengthen service delivery through a redesigned primary healthcare model, which includes: <\/span>1) <\/b>Improved household access to primary healthcare facilities, <\/span>2) <\/b>Stronger links between each household and its primary care facility through regular household visits, and <\/span>3) <\/b>Risk assessment of non-communicable diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both the PHSPP and the EHSDP utilize the <\/span>Program-for-Results financing instrument that focuses on the achievement of results<\/b> rather than inputs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Duration of loan: <\/b>The loans will have a final maturity of 18.5 years including a grace period of five years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which programmes will be supported through this lending?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The lending will support India\u2019s flagship <\/span>Pradhan Mantri-Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission(PM\u00adABHIM),<\/span><\/a> launched in October 2021, to improve the public healthcare infrastructure across the country.\u00a0<\/span>In addition to this, loans will also prioritize health service delivery in seven States.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
