The state agency has a budget of $ 75 Million in the form of grants for projects in the area of
Health from Government. A management review team consisting of Doctors, Pharmacists &

them work with full capacity to prevent these diseases and illness. Management reviewed
different functions of health in terms of the most needed to the citizens and they have
identified with the most mandatory eight needed functions for development and budget
release which needs to be done on urgent basis. Each of the function have been evaluated and
scored in relation to the health diseases occurred from it to citizens due to the unavailability or
lacking of proper functionality of these projects cause of many reasons. The estimated health
diseases ratio causes to the people in the state from each of the area is given below:
Above table also shows the requested level of funding asked from respective departments
related to health state agency. These figures represent the maximum amount, which will be
awarded to any project. The agency can give any amount up to the indicated maximum for a
given project. Similarly, Primer of the state mandated that the clean water program should be

1. Combined funding for the food authority, district health authority and provisions of
medicines should be at least $22 million.
