AAA The State Budget 2021-22 presented by Finance Minister T.M. Thomas Isaac on Friday has nothing new for the Health sector and even the vague promises are likely to remain just that as nothing has been said about the financial allocation required for the same.
Free COVID-19 vaccination for all, an announcement earlier made by the Chief Minister, has been reiterated by Dr. Isaac and is the biggest promise offered from the side of public health in this Budget.
4,000 new posts
Dr. Isaac also makes a mention of new 4,000 posts to be created in the Health Department in 2021-22 for running all 221 Family Health Centres and for fully utilising the new facilities created in hospitals using KIIFB funds.
