Health sector in Koraput district encounters a major setback


Correspondent


National Rural Health Mission funds sent back unutilised


Approval of ZSS general body is needed for fundsDifferences among stakeholders come to the fore at ZSS meet

KORAPUT: Lack of proper communication, coordination and understanding between the district level officials and Zilla Parishad has resulted in the return of Rs.12 cr. without being spent causing a serious loss to the health services in Koraput district.
All these funds being received from National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) needed approval of the ZSS general body for its utilisation and for the last three years the general body meeting of the ZSS was not held even once, B.C.Ray, Chief District Medical officer (CDMO) of Koraput said.
Koraput district had received a grant of Rs.5.5cr. in 2005-06 financial year which included a sanction of Rs.1.2 lakh for the new born and 4.7 lakh for supporting the tribal health in the district.
But as the amount was sent back unutilised, while there was a support for the tribal health, the support for the new born was not granted in the following year. Further, the following year for the non-utilisation of either of the funds, NRHM had stopped providing support against these two heads, he added.
Moreover while there was a need for construction of new sub-centres in various corners of the district, neither new ones could be built nor was any repair work initiated even though the amount was lying in the account for the purpose.
The differences among the various stake holders came to the forefront in the ZSS meeting which was held at Koraput on Friday, when the officials exchanged words against each other and with the Zilla Parishad president.
However amidst all the confusions, the budget for the current financial year was passed by the members.
