The government is planning to include the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in the country's immunisation program, potentially making vaccines to prevent cervical cancer more affordable. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stated that the government aims to encourage vaccination for girls aged 9 to 14 to prevent cervical cancer. Currently, the HPV vaccine is available in private hospitals at a cost of up to ₹4,000 per dose. Additionally, the government plans to establish more medical colleges and upgrade Anganwadi centers for improved healthcare services and nutrition delivery.
