He was speaking at a function organised to monitor the immunisation programme in Kanpur city at Ursala Horsman Hospital on Thursday.
“Each hospital committee, to be chaired by a Mayor, would get Rs 5 lakh for every district hospital and Rs 1 lakh for every health care center, as the government has decided to strengthen the existing health system in the State,” Mishra said. Blood banks will be created at every community health center, he added.
