The state cabinet on Wednesday decided to establish 64 new health sub-centres in rural areas of the state, with an aim to take care of the health needs of the residents. The project would be taken up under the National Rural Health Mission of the central government, with the state having a share of 50 per cent of the involved expenditure. Briefing the media after chairing the cabinet meeting, the Chief Minister, Mr Digambar Kamat said that these health sub-centres, affiliated to the directorate of health services, would be established in various locations from Pernem to Canacona.
