Misleading
information provided by State Govt.in respect of budgetary allocation for
" NIDAN" scheme
NIDAN scheme of Odisha Govt.
which stated from 1.1.18 aims free diagnostic services to all patients in
public health facilities in the state.it provides free of cost high-end
pathology test, digital x-ray, CT-Scan, MRI etc. RTI Application was filed to
Health and Family welfare dept. seeking information about details of budgetary
allocation made for this scheme. Health and Family welfare dept. supplied
the information that as it is state scheme, state
Govt. has made budgetary allocation of Rs. 23.72 crore ( 2017-18) and Rs. 91.66
crore ( 2018-19).
But
Mission Directorate, National Health Mission has provided that budget for this
scheme (,2017-18) is Rs. 50.54 crore ( central budget - 26.82 crore and State
budget-23.72 crore). Budget for 2018-19 is Rs. 140.63 crore ( central budget -
60.63 crore and state budget -80.00 crore ) .
which is right. The officials of
State Govt. are habituated to spread false, misleading and self-contradictory
information in public domain and hijack central Govt. Scheme. The people
of Odisha must be aware and should scrutinise any information advertised by
Govt. By declaring NIDAN scheme, the State Govt. has taken much credit that his
Govt. is committed to provide free health service and free test in Govt. Hospital.
But in reality, it is central scheme and central budget. The State Govt has
just added value to it.
