Health Minister Veena George has urged Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya to sanction the Union government’s share of National Health Mission (NHM) funds that was due to the State’s Health department.
Co-branding activities as directed by the Union government have been completed, yet funds have not been distributed. This is affecting many activities of the NHM. Last month too, the State government had to step in with funds for emergency services, including salary to the employees, Ms. George said on Wednesday, calling for distribution of funds at the earliest.
The Minister made the appeal at a meeting chaired by the Union Health Minister to review the COVID situation in the country.
