Jaiswal hammered a 52-ball 71 as India scored at over eight runs an over, and now trail the visitors by 95 runs. <br /><br />Earlier, Bangladesh were bundled out for 233 in their first innings, built around <keyword id="22750663" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mominul-Haque" source="keywords">Mominul Haque</keyword>'s patient hundred. <br /><br />The sun shone bright in the <keyword id="19921464" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kanpur" source="keywords">Kanpur</keyword> sky after two gloomy days and the on-field action finally began after losing eight sessions. <br /><br />Except for Mominul, none of the Bangladeshi batters applied themselves on a placid pitch that did not offer much to the Indian bowlers. <br /><br />Showing urgency to surpass Bangladesh total and probably push for a victory in the limited time available, India came out batting in the T20 mode. <br /><br />Jaiswal hit three boundaries in the opening over to stun pacer Hasan Mahmud while Rohit began by clobbering two sixes off Khaled Ahmed, and one landed on the stadium roof. <br /><br />The onslaught surprised the rival attack but the home fans were rewarded for flocking the stadium in the last two days despite rain.<br /><br />Going with a see-and-hit approach, India completed the fastest team fifty in three overs. <br /><br />Realising the ineffectiveness of his pacers, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto introduced spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz and he responded to the SOS call, castling Rohit. <br /><br />Jaiswal completed his fifty with a single off left-arm spinner Taijul Islam and went on in his aggressive fashion. His innings, which contained 12 fours and two sixes, was cut short by Mahmud. <br /><br />The young opener added 72 runs for the second wicket with Shubhman Gill (38). <br /><br />Gill (37) and Rishabh Pant (4) remained unseparated till the tea break. <br /><br />Earlier, pacer <keyword id="19899525" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jasprit-Bumrah" source="keywords">Jasprit Bumrah</keyword> (3/50) accounted for three batters, further establishing his brilliance, while his pace colleagues Mohammed Siraj (2/57) and Akash Deep (2/43) scalped two batters each. <br /><br />Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (2/45) got rid of legendary Shakib Al Hasan, probably playing his last Test. <br /><br />Ravindra Jadeja toiled hard to get his 300th Test wicket and succeeded when he caught and bowled Khaled. Jadeja also became the second quickest to complete the double of 300 wickets and 3000 runs in <keyword id="19935483" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Test-cricket" source="keywords">Test cricket</keyword> behind England great Ian Botham.<br /><br />Resuming at 107 for three, Bangladesh lost Mushfiqur Rahim (11) in the sixth over of the day when Bumrah bowled him with an angled delivery. <br /><br />It was an error of judgement from Rahim who left the ball, thinking it would go over the stumps but it stayed a bit low to disturb the off-stump. <br /><br />In the previous ball also, Rahim was troubled by an angled delivery that took the edge and zoomed to the boundary ropes. <br /><br />New-man in Litton Das (13) began confidently, driving a length ball from Bumrah through the cover for a four and followed that up with another solid drive in the same region. <br /><br />Mominul stayed solid from his end and also survived an appeal off Mohammed Siraj. The southpaw was beaten, as the ball hit his thigh-pad and DRS showed the ball had not touched his glove before being taken by Jaiswal. <br /><br />In the next ball, Mominul completed his half-century by pulling a short one from Siraj to the square leg boundary. <br /><br />Rohit, standing at mid-off, pulled a stunner from thin air when Das charged down the wicket to Siraj but stood in disbelief after his powerful hit was plucked by the Indian captain. <br /><br />In came Shakib (9), but he did not last long. He got his first boundary by working a full-length delivery from Siraj on the leg side. <br /><br />He went after Ashwin but could not connect well as his one hand came off the bat. <br /><br />Siraj standing at mid-off backpaddled to take a stunning catch.<br /><br /><b>SEE ALSO:<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/upcoming-cars-launching-in-india-in-october-2024/slidelist/113809612.cms" target="_blank"></a></b><br /><br /> <b><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/upcoming-cars-launching-in-india-in-october-2024/slidelist/113809612.cms" target="_blank">Upcoming cars launching in India in October 2024</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/webstories/upcoming-smartphones-launching-in-india-in-october-2024/slidelist/113804125.cms" target="_blank"></a></b><br /><br /> <b><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/webstories/upcoming-smartphones-launching-in-india-in-october-2024/slidelist/113804125.cms" target="_blank">Upcoming smartphones launching in India in October 2024</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/krn-heat-exchanger-ipo-allotment-check-allotment-status-gmp-listing-date-and-more/articleshow/113801258.cms" target="_blank"></a></b><br /><br /> <b><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/krn-heat-exchanger-ipo-allotment-check-allotment-status-gmp-listing-date-and-more/articleshow/113801258.cms" target="_blank">KRN Heat Exchanger IPO allotment – Check allotment status, GMP, listing date and more</a></b><br />

Yashasvi Jaiswal hammers Bangladesh attack after Mominul's ton; India 138/2 at tea

India's government <keyword id="21309215" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="healthcare-spending" source="keywords">healthcare spending</keyword> appears to be on the rise, but a closer look reveals a concerning trend. While the headline figures might suggest an increase, the reality is a steady decline in health expenditure as a proportion of both the <keyword id="19936553" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="budget" source="keywords">budget</keyword> and GDP over the past five years (2018-19 to 2023-24).<br /><br />This decline is even starker when adjusted for inflation. In real terms, spending has barely kept pace since 2019-20. As a percentage of the total budget, health spending has shrunk from 2.4% in 2018-19 to just 1.9% in 2023-24. Similarly, the share of GDP allocated to health has fallen from 0.30% to 0.28%, as per a report from the Times of India.<br /><br /><h2>Growing expectations ahead of <keyword id="15478236" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="budget-2024" source="Orion">Budget 2024</keyword></h2>As the Finance Minister <keyword id="19916618" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nirmala-sitharaman" source="keywords">Nirmala Sitharaman</keyword> prepares to present the full budget for the current fiscal on July 23, the expectations from the health sector has only been growing.<br /><br />“The Union Budget 2024-25 is a pivotal moment for India's healthcare sector. Building on the ₹64,180 crores allocated in 2023-24 under the Pradhan Mantri Atmanirbhar Swasth Bharat Yojana, we need enhanced tax incentives and financial support for healthcare startups to catalyze innovation. Significant investments in <keyword id="21226679" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="digital-health-infrastructure" source="keywords">digital health infrastructure</keyword>, particularly AI, will improve patient outcomes and operational efficiency,” says Dr Sravani Reddy G, Founder &amp; CEO, Soprav Healthcare Consulting.<br /><br />“Strengthening public-private partnerships will improve healthcare accessibility and quality, leveraging private sector efficiency. Additionally, focused efforts on affordability and access, such as reducing out-of-pocket expenses and improving insurance coverage, are vital for a more equitable healthcare system.”<br /><br />“The healthcare sector in India is on the brink of excellence. There is an increased focus on treating unique patient cases, robotic surgeries, and increasing prominence of AI for accurate diagnosis. To reach the next phase, emphasis must be laid on innovation, research &amp; development, and infrastructure development. These are the foundations for India’s health sector to achieve an international standard of treatment for all,” hopes Joseph Pasangha, Group COO, SPARSH Hospital, Bengaluru.<br />            <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111730426" title="Pan-India rollout of U-WIN to track routine immunisations likely by Aug end" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div><br /><h2>Health tax not helping enough<br /></h2>This situation is further complicated by the introduction of the <keyword id="22446013" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="health-cess" source="keywords">health cess</keyword> in 2018. This tax levy was intended to boost government spending on healthcare, particularly for the underprivileged. However, the collected funds seem to be merely filling the gap created by cuts to regular budgetary allocations for health.<br /><br />In 2022-23, over Rs 18,300 crore of the central government's health spending came from the health cess. Excluding this amount, the actual budgetary allocation for health stands at a concerning Rs 59,840 crore. This is lower than the pre-pandemic level of Rs 66,042 crore allocated in 2019-20, even without adjusting for inflation.<br /><br /><h2>Where's the money going?</h2>The intended purpose of the health cess seems to be falling short. In 2018, health spending accounted for 2.4% of the government's total expenditure. If this ratio had remained constant in 2023-24, the health budget should have been over Rs 1.07 lakh crore. Instead, the revised expenditure, including the health cess, stands at just Rs 83,400 crore.<br /><br />Even the additional allocations for the COVID-19 pandemic (Rs 10,655 crore and Rs 15,955 crore in 2020-21 and 2021-22 respectively) cannot mask the overall decline. When combined with the regular health budget (excluding health cess), the total spending in these years still falls short of what it would have been if the 2.4% share of 2018-19 had been maintained.<br /><br /><h2>More for alternative medicine</h2>While the share allocated to Ayush (Ayurveda, Yoga &amp; Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy) has seen a significant increase, spending on crucial areas like health research has seen only marginal growth. Additionally, a major portion of research funding goes to the Indian Council of Medical Research, with only a temporary increase during the peak of the pandemic response.<br /><br />The most concerning decrease is in the allocation for health and family welfare, encompassing national programs, the National Health Mission, and health system strengthening. This critical area has seen a substantial decline in its share of both GDP and total budget expenditure, falling from a peak of over 2% in 2017-18 to a mere 1.7% in 2023-24. Excluding the health cess, this figure drops even further to 1.5%.<br /><br /><h2>What this means</h2>This decline in government health spending raises serious concerns about India's commitment to public healthcare, particularly for its most vulnerable populations. Increased investment in health is crucial for a growing nation like India, and a reversal of this downward trend is essential to ensure accessible and quality healthcare for all.<br /><br />The 2024 Interim Health Budget saw a boost in total healthcare expenditure from Rs. 79,221 crore to Rs. 90,171 crore. Experts have opined that The healthcare budget should encompass at least 2.5% of the total budget. But it remains to be seen how the exact picture will turn out to be on July 23.<br /><br />“The 2024-25 budget presents an opportunity to build on past successes while addressing shortcomings, ensuring that India's healthcare system remains resilient, innovative, and patient-centric. This budget can pave the way for a healthier, more equitable future for all," concludes Dr Reddy.<br /><br />(With inputs from TOI)<br /><br />        <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111689743" title="Union Budget 2024: A handy FAQ guide to decode the upcoming budget" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div><br />

While most infected individuals experience mild symptoms like fever, headache, red eyes, rash, and joint pain, the virus can pose severe risks, especially to pregnant women.<br /><br />It is also known to cause <keyword id="20496650" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="microcephaly" source="keywords">microcephaly</keyword> — a condition where a baby’s head is significantly smaller than expected — and other neurological complications in infants exposed in utero, highlighting its potential for devastating impacts.

Additionally, states like Karnataka and Kerala have also reported instances of Zika infections.<br />  <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111250832" title="Bengaluru on dengue alert: City reports over 1,000 cases in 20 days; BBPM Chief falls prey to disease" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>As per a The New Indian Express report, the Karnataka patient has since succumbed, although officials have noted that other complications could have contributed to the death.<br /><h2>Do I need to worry about catching the illness?</h2>While Zika virus infections generally result in mild illness for most individuals, the greatest concern lies with pregnant women. Infections during pregnancy can lead to serious birth defects such as microcephaly, underscoring the need for heightened vigilance and preventive measures.<br /><h2>What precautions can I take against Zika?</h2>In the absence of a vaccine, we must do our best to avoid the infection. To minimise the risk of contracting the Zika virus, individuals are advised to:<br /><ul><li>Avoid mosquito bites: Use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and stay in screened-in or air-conditioned rooms.</li><li>Eliminate mosquito breeding sites: Regularly empty standing water from containers like flowerpots, buckets, and birdbaths where mosquitoes breed.</li><li>Safe Sexual Practices: Zika can be sexually transmitted, so practise safe sex or abstain if you or your partner has recently travelled to an area with Zika.</li></ul><h2>Public health response and advice</h2>Authorities have urged health facilities to screen pregnant women for Zika virus, intensify vector control activities, and report suspected cases promptly to prevent further transmission.
