Health is a State Subject and State
Governments are providing health care including drugs to the patients.
In order to strengthen the hands of the State Governments, the Ministry
of Health and Family Welfare is providing additional support under the
National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) for overall health system
strengthening including support for provision of free drugs in public
health facilities.
Under NRHM, a new initiative called Janani Shishu
Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK) has been launched under which funding is given
to the States for providing medicines free of cost to all pregnant
women who access the Government health facilities for delivery as well
as sick neonates born to them upto 30 days after birth.
This
information was given by the Union Minister of Health & Family
Welfare Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha
today.
