Raipur News: Health services will now reach the doorsteps of people in remote and densely forested tribal areas. Under the Prime Minister’s Tribal Justice Campaign “PM Janman”, Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai flagged off 57 mobile medical unit vehicles in Nava Raipur on Wednesday. Health Minister Shyam Bihari Jaiswal along with cabinet members, public representatives and departmental officers and employees were present in the program.

Preparations have been completed to provide regular health services to Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) through the operation of Mobile Medical Units. The government believes that in view of the difficulties faced by communities living in remote areas in reaching hospitals, this system will bring health facilities directly to their villages and hamlets.

With the deployment of mobile medical units, regular health services will be provided to more than 2100 villages and hamlets in 18 districts of the state. This will directly benefit more than two lakh Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) population.

Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai said that for the families living in hilly and inaccessible areas, treatment and testing facilities will now be available in the village itself. He described the initiative as “a solid foundation for holistic participation and health security” of tribal communities.

Chief Minister Sai said that this is a day of pride for Chhattisgarh. People who are backward in society from every economic, social and educational point of view are people of special backward tribes. Out of the population of 3 crore living in Chhattisgarh, 2 lakh 30 thousand people of special backward tribes live in 21 hundred settlements of 18 districts. This mobile medical unit will prove to be a boon for them. This work will be made easier through these 57 well-equipped mobile medical units. Doctors, nurses, lab technicians and local volunteers will be present in this unit. In this unit, 25 types of testing facilities and 106 types of medicines will be available free of cost.
