These, in part, include, improved infrastructure, access to essential care, and effective disease prevention and control in their 2025 budget proposals.

The ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Daju Kachollom, said focusing on programmes and projects that ensure the delivery of government health priorities is critical to achieving the vision of the country for the health sector.
