— New Age THE difference between 5.1 per cent and 5.4 per cent of the budget as allocation for the health sector in the outgoing and the next financial year is semantic which will actually address the rate of inflation only. On the other hand, Tk 10,000 crore having been allocated for Covid-related activities and services without any specification, except for buying vaccines, and not for production within the country, has room for more farsightedness. This reflects on the poor understanding of the sector. The health and family welfare, and finance ministries could not make a hunch as to what, how and why this allocation should be expended specifically. It is like writing nine medicines for one disease that a naïve physician fails to unearth and, therefore, does not take any risk of misdiagnoses and prays that any one or two of them would do wonders.
