With the civic elections around the corner, the BMC Budget has emphasised on health and the environment, with the vision of Shiv Sena leaders. Or rather, the vision of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and of Environment, Tourism and Protocol Minister Aaditya Thackeray.

The Budget has introduced two new schemes—Primary Health Hinduhridaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Health Centres and Balasaheb Thackeray clinics, and Shiv Yog centres. However, the new scheme of health centres is similar to Aapli Chikitsa. It was introduced in the budget 2019-20 and was a service supposed to be available at all dispensaries, peripheral hospitals, maternity homes and special hospitals. Under this service, 101 basic tests and 38 advanced tests were to be made available to patients with the aim of decongesting major hospitals by 30 per cent to 35 per cent.
