E-drug: Drug budgets in PHC programs (cont'd)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you know the South Indian State of Kerala has high health status
almost on par with that of the developed countries. We have not
quantified our drug budget for primary care separately. But the overall
health expenditure, the private and public expenses taken together
comes to about 30$ per capital per annum only.
