Health is an important factor affecting the economic development of a nation. India currently has a huge gap in its health infrastructure. This article is an attempt made to analyse the health budget of 2017 with that of previous budgets to see if there is any change in the budget allocations in 2017 for health sector that could transform it. An analysis of the budget allocation for health sector has been made with respect to total allocation, proportion of the allocation towards health as a percentage of GDP, NHRM, Jan Aushadi scheme, capital expenditures involved etc.
