JAMMU, APR 7: Welcoming the proposed meeting between Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh and Pak President, Asif Ali Zardari, Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah underlined need of a 'sustained dialogue' between the two countries to resolve all issues. "We want a continuous dialogue process between the two neighbours to address the problems and find out solution", he said the media at the sidelines of 'World Health Day' function he addressed at Zorawar Singh Auditorium in Jammu University on Saturday.
The Chief Minister said that the visit of Union Home Minister, P Chidam baram to the State is a routine one.
He said issues relating to the security scenario, AFSPA, Interlocutors Report, reduction of forces, etc would come up during the talks with the Union Home Minister. Earlier addressing the gathering on 'World Health Day' function, the Chief Minister underscored the need for active involvement of civil society in stopping the evil of female feticide in the State and contributing in the successful implementation of 'Save Girl Child Programme'. Omar Abdullah said that Jammu and Kashmir has earned bad name for the higher graph reported about the female feticide which should be great concern to every member of the society.
"While government has geared up its machinery in health and other concerned departments to focus on the issue and create public awareness about the far reaching consequences and dangerous effects of female feticide civil society has an important role to play in this direction", he said underlining the role of ASHA workers in particular. He reiterated government's endeavour for universalization of quality health service across the State is his mission.
Earlier Minister for Health, Sham Lal Sharma in his address said that due to the efforts of Health Department and because of the overall guidance of Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, the State has registered tremendous improvement in service delivery to the people in health sector.
Substantiating his statement with facts and figures, Sham Lal Sharma said that during the last three years there has been 70 percent increase in the service delivery to OPD patients while it has been 128 percent to IPD patients.
He said 120 percent increase has been registered in the conduct of operations, 115 percent in Ultrasound, 195 percent in Lab tests, 120 percent in X-ray and 74 percent in Institutional deliveries.
He said these figures are authenticated by the increase in the receipt of fee showing increase of 302 percent despite no increase in the fee pattern."
A roadmap for the sustained development in Health sector along with delivery of quality service has already been put in place", he said adding that the next three years would witness holistic progress in this sector across the State.
