Maharashtra Health Department has come out with a report painting a sorrow picture of their infrastructure and services, and has attributed it to inadequate budgetary allocations by the state government for last six years.
Contrary to the Centre's guidelines to increase budgetary allocation by 10 per cent annually for Health sector, the state Government has been allotting only two per cent of its total budget to the Department since 2004, the report said.
In a presentation to the state cabinet last week, the Department submitted a report which mentioned that since 2004, the budgetary provision varies between 1.94 per cent and 2.57 per cent, which is holding it back from performing to the fullest.
The Health Department has received only Rs 182 crore to set up health care centres and complete ongoing constructions against its demand for a whopping Rs 1,000 crore.
