The construction of Maternity and Child Health block at Government General Hospital, Kakinada was stalled after incurring an expenditure of ০12.99 crore due to non-release of timely funds by Government of Andhra Pradesh received under National Health Mission from Government of India (GoI). Also, the intended purpose of providing maternity and child health care with requisite facility could not be achieved even after a lapse of seven years from the date of provisioning of funds by GoI and the expenditure made became wasteful.
