Post-Budget Webinar discusses strengthening of Emergency & Trauma Care Centres across District Hospitals

• Para 88 of Union Budget 2026-27 announces strengthening of Emergency & Trauma Care Centres across all District Hospitals, targeting a 50% increase in trauma care capacity.
• A Post-Budget Webinar (09 March 2026) under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) operationalised the announcement, stressing integration of the 112 Emergency Response Support System (ERSS) with ambulances and hospitals.
• Relevant for UPSC because it links health infrastructure (GS-II), disaster/road-accident response (GS-III), and cooperative federalism in service delivery.
