Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, July 28-
CM Bhagwant Mann on Sunday alleged that the Union govt has stalled Rs 1000 crore of the state under the National Health Mission to deprive the Punjabis from the access of quality health services.
Interacting with the media persons after flagging off 58 hi-tech ambulances for the state, the CM said that the state govt is committed to impart quality health services to the state but the Union govt is continuously hatching conspiracies to deny these to Punjabis. He said that the Union govt has stalled the grant of worth Rs 1000 crore under the NHM just to torpedo pro-people initiatives being taken by the state. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that this is a condemnable move as the non BJP govts are being harassed by the Union govt on one pretext or another.
The CM said that Aam Aadmi clinics have revolutionized the health care sector in the state. He said that 1.75 crore people have taken the benefits of these clinics in the state and more than 95% of patients visiting these clinics daily recover from their ailments.
