Bengal Government to Launch Mobile Hospitals for Rural Healthcare

The Bengal government is setting up 210 mobile hospitals to help people in rural areas get healthcare.

These hospitals are specially designed vehicles equipped with doctors, nurses, and equipment for tests like ECG and blood tests.

Some will even have beds, X-ray and USG machines.

This initiative, costing about ₹100 crore, aims to bring healthcare closer to people's homes, especially in areas where hospitals are far away.

The government hopes these mobile units will help those who have difficulty reaching hospitals due to distance or poor roads.

Officials say the initiative addresses previous complaints of poor healthcare access.
