The audit of Maharashtra's public health infrastructure and services by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has found that up to 76% of the funds allocated for urban health missions were left unused during the audit period.
The healthcare budget grew from Rs10,723.82 crore in 2016-17 to Rs21,067.33 crore in 2021-22, but the expenditure still accounts for only 0.66% of Maharashtra's Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP).
There were significant inefficiencies in the procurement and distribution of medicines and medical equipment. From 2016-17 to 2021-22, Rs 2,052 crore worth of inventory remained unutilised. The delays were attributed to inefficiencies within the state-run Haffkine Biopharmaceutical Corporation, which is responsible for procurement. The report also pointed to poor storage practices that led to the wastage of essential drugs and supplies.
