Healthcare Infrastructure Development

The government announced plans to install four advanced catheterization laboratories (Cath Labs) in state hospitals at a cost of Rs. 1.2 billion. This initiative aims to improve cardiac care capacity in public healthcare facilities.

Four Cath Labs for 1.2 billion—that's Rs. 300 million per lab to look inside people's hearts, which is ironic considering the budget that actually made it through probably stopped beating halfway.
