EARLY TIMES REPORT

ANANTNAG, Mar 4: The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Anantnag has surprised one and all by claiming that conducting normal deliveries at Maternity and Child Care Hospital Anantnag were incurring expenditure of Rs 350 (Three hundred fifty Rupees).
In an official communication, CMO Anantnag has communicated to Deputy Medical Superintendent Maternity and Child Care Hospital Anantnag that the approved budget for conducting normal deliveries was just Rs 350 and for C-Section it was just Rs 1600.
“Other JSSK drugs and consumables for normal deliveries @350 per delivery and for C-section @1600/-per delivery,” reads the letter addressed to Deputy Medical Superintendent Maternity and Child Care Hospital Anantnag.
The officials at Maternity and Child Care Hospital Anantnag told Early Times that Chief Medical Officer Anantnag that hospital will be allotted funds as per the above mentioned budget.
“If we have conducted 100 normal deliveries we will get a budget Rs 35,000 as per CMO’s communication,” they said, adding expenditure incurred on conducting deliveries can never be static and it always fluctuates.
“It depends upon the patient. Among them some may develop complications,” they said.
Prior to this, the authorities at MCH Anantnag (AH GMC Anantnag) had conveyed to CMO Anantnag that it had released insufficient funds to them under JSSK Scheme of NHM under Sub-head Drugs and Consumables.
Officials said that earlier the authorities at MCH Anantnag had raised a bill of Rupees two crore (2, 00, 00,000) for conducting ten thousand (10,000) surgeries.
“At that time the funds were being released as per the consumption and utilization of drugs but now they aren’t,” they added.
CMO, Anantnag Dr Mukhtar Ahmad said that it was the experts who capped the expenditure. “It isn’t me but the experts of NHM who issued this order. Still if MCH Anantnag needs more funds they must take up the matter with NHM directly and explain to them why they need it,” CMO told Early Times over the phone.
He said that budget is allotted as per the target but MCH Anantnag hasn’t achieved that target
CMO said that he had never entertained those elements who were seeking release of funds for clearing past liabilities. “They visited me when I joined as CMO Anantnag but I told them that I have nothing to do with it,” he said.
