<h1>Universal health cards, hospital upgrades, and contract transparency in municipal manifesto; proposes new hospitals and 5% SC/ST budget earmarks</h1> The manifesto proposes municipal policy measures to strengthen public health and civic services by providing universal health cards enabling access to free medicines, strengthening municipal hospitals, expanding primary health centres, ensuring affordable healthcare services, and establishing two new multi-speciality hospitals, which would expand publicly funded healthcare access and infrastructure if implemented by the BMC. It further prescribes governance and contracting changes through commitments to transparent governance, curbing corruption, and ensuring accountability in civic works and contracts, which would tighten administrative oversight of municipal expenditure and procurement. It also sets a budgetary earmarking of 5% each of the BMC budget for welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, which would create dedicated fiscal allocations for these groups.
