Primary Health Services to be available within 3 km radius in 4 Years: CM Fadnavis

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday announced a comprehensive plan to develop the country’s best health services in Maharashtra in the next four years. The initiative aims to provide primary facilities to every person within a 3-kilometre radius.

Addressing a gathering after inaugurating the Late Bhanutai Gadkari Memorial Diagnostic Centre here, he said the cost of treatment is going up along with advancements in technology, which highlighted the need to give more people affordable and subsidised care under the government health system.

The Maharashtra government and the Centre are working on this aspect, Fadnavis added.

“A study of health services has shown that the government has developed very good tertiary treatment facilities in Maharashtra, but we are lacking to some extent when it comes to primary health services. If we go by the ratio, then 60 per cent of funds should go to primary health services and 40 per cent to tertiary services,” he said, reports PTI.
