858 public dispensaries are needed, but only 199 present in Mumbai

Despite a near-200% jump in the civic health budget over a decade, a sizeable gap has remained in the city's primary health system. Mumbai is short of 659 public dispensaries and suffers from a 30% staff shortage in 187 existing centres, states NGO Praja Foundation's white paper on the city's health status, released on Tuesday.
