## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (SHRI PRATAPRAO JADHAV)

(a): Health is a state subject, hence, the responsibility for improving the healthcare facilities lies with the respective State/UT Governments. However, The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) provides financial and technical support to the States/UTs including Uttar Pradesh to improve the accessibility and affordability of quality health services as well as strengthening of public healthcare systems such as Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Community Health Centres (CHCs), District Hospitals, and Maternal Health Units.

As per the information received from the State Government of Uttar Pradesh, several measures are being undertaken to improve healthcare services in Budaun district. These include strengthening infrastructure, recruitment of medical and paramedical personnel, and ensuring the availability of essential medicines and diagnostic services. Under the National Health Mission, financial and technical assistance is provided to the State Government of Uttar Pradesh for:

-  Recruitment and deployment of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff;
-  Strengthening maternal and child healthcare services;
-  Ensuring the supply of essential drugs and diagnostics; and
-  Upgradation of healthcare infrastructure at PHCs, CHCs, and District Hospitals.

The details regarding the availability of doctors, nursing staff and technicians in the District Hospitals and health facilities functioning in the Rural / Urban areas of the country across all the

State/UTs including Uttar Pradesh is available in Health Dynamics of India (Infrastructure and Human Resources) 2022-23 report at the following web link.

(b) & (c): Funds provided by the Government of India are allocated and released to districts including Budaun District under various components of the National Health Mission time to time for strengthening healthcare infrastructure, procurement of essential medicines, and recruitment of medical and paramedical staff.

State Government periodically reviews progress of projects through monitoring mechanisms under the National Health Mission, including district-level review meetings, State Programme Implementation Plan (PIP) assessments, and regular reporting through the Health Management Information System (HMIS).

The Government of India also reviews the implementation of health programmes through review meetings, field visits and Common Review Mission (CRM) etc. to ensure effective delivery of healthcare services and to address existing gaps and fill up them. In cases where deficiencies in service delivery or delays in execution of projects are reported, the State Government takes appropriate administrative action as per rules to ensure timely completion of projects and uninterrupted delay of health services.
