Lucknow. The Yogi government of Uttar Pradesh has been claiming to streamline the health services of the state and provide better medical facilities, but the data related to the funds allocated under the National Health Mission (NHM) and its actual expenditure has exposed these claims.

The question is, how much of the funds provided by the central and state governments were used to strengthen health services? How much of the budget was spent and how much was left unspent? This gap in budget expenditure of health programs raises many important questions regarding the implementation, government monitoring and accountability of health schemes in the state. UP ranks first among the states in the entire country that do not spend the money on health schemes. The health department is very slow in developing facilities for the treatment of patients in government hospitals of the state under the National Health Program (NHM).
In Uttar Pradesh, the funds for the National Health Program are not being spent on time. Rs 676.95 crore could not be spent till November 13, 2026 under the National Health Program to develop better facilities for the treatment of patients. Under the National Health Mission (NHM), many major works and schemes are to be completed to improve health services in UP and strengthen the medical infrastructure from villages to the district level, which have not been completed till now. Who is responsible for this? Health Minister or Principal Secretary and Yogi Government. When money is coming from WHO and Central Government for health in the state. The UP government is not able to find a big enough drug mafia from whom 40 percent commission can be recovered.
