World Bank has approved a USD 350 million or over ₹2,832 crore loan to Gujarat for augmenting health services with a special focus on adolescent girls and disease surveillance in the state.
The funding will come from the World Bank arm International Bank of Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), carrying a maturity of 18 years including a grace period of 5.5 years.
Currently, Gujarat provides seven health services to its citizens including reproductive, maternal, and newborn, child and adolescent health, communicable and non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
The loan will be utilised through the state government's Systems Reform Endeavours for Transformed Health Achievement in Gujarat (SRESTHA-G) Programme.
