While addressing the training session, Ms. Tulpule said that,
the condition of government run hospitals is not very good. Several hospitals
from PHC to district levels lack even basic infrastructure, prescribed by the
central government under its various health policies and schemes. Our officials
lack will power in implementing the health policies devised by the central
government, she added.
