West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced the state's plan to implement the National Health Mission, with the Central Government approving ₹2,103 crore for the initiative. During a health department event in Kolkata, Adhikari emphasized that this funding is crucial for enhancing healthcare delivery across the state. He noted that ₹527 crore of the sanctioned amount has already been received. The initiative aims to provide quality healthcare support to over 1.36 crore families under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, which is designed to improve access to health services for economically disadvantaged populations. Additionally, control rooms will be established to monitor the operations of district hospitals, ensuring better healthcare management. The Chief Minister also mentioned that a census will be conducted in West Bengal from August 1 to February end next year, which will further aid in assessing the healthcare needs of the population and improving service delivery.
