Health Dept to Expand Healthcare in Tribal Villages
The health department in Hyderabad is planning to improve healthcare services in tribal and forest villages.
They want to build new health centres and upgrade existing ones.
They will also add CT scan machines and more doctors and nurses.
The goal is to make sure people in these areas get the same good healthcare as people in cities.
The minister also told officials to be ready for diseases that come with the monsoon, like malaria and dengue.
They are also adding more ambulances so people can get help faster.
The health department will implement a special healthcare framework to improve medical services in tribal and forest villages.
CT scan facilities will be introduced in all area hospitals under the integrated tribal development agencies.
New sub-centres and primary health centres (PHCs) will be established, and existing ones will be upgraded.
Adilabad RIMS is being developed as the referral centre for Adilabad, Asifabad, and Nirmal districts.
