Viewing seriously the absence of few officers of vertical programmes under National Health Mission, he said, " NHM is a concept to converge all the health programs under one umbrella. Therefore all the officers and coordinators of various health programs should also mandatorily attend the review meetings,  as they provide  a platform for all to share ideas,  retrospect, adopt corrective measures and workout solutions."

He also emphasized on Direct Benefit Transfer of various health programme incentives to beneficiaries and directed the Medical Officers to ensure the same.

He further directed all the MOs to utilize the funds judiciously and ensure life saving drugs and equipment like oxygen are made available in their respective Primary Health Centers and Community Health Centers throughout the year.
