“We all acknowledged the receipt of capitation from KSCHMA this week to the tune of 88 m shared to HMB facilities. We are not compelling anyone to abide by the regulations, but it is a proclaimed and ordained policy that 70% should be for procurement of drugs from DMA, while 30% for improving the services of the facility and 10% cash payments”

Dr. Nagoda made a new rule of engagement that there must be 100%  assurance of the quality of service delivery.
