30-point action plan for better healthcare services in Andhra Pradesh
The Hindu
Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav implements 30-point action plan to enhance healthcare services in the State effectively.
Minister for Health, Medical Education and Family Welfare Satya Kumar Yadav has designed a 30-point action plan, based on the suggestions of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and various discussions the department has had since last year, to improve healthcare services in the State.
These points comprise the health targets set for achieving Swarnandhra-2047.
The Health Minister has instructed Special Chief Secretary M.T. Krishna Babu to review the performance of the department on these points from time to time.
Some of these points include improving communication plan to ensure information related to health and medicine is reaching people, identifying healthcare services that can be delivered to people through WhatsApp, Artificial Intelligence(AI) and Machine Learning(ML) tools, sensitising and educating private hospitals and NGOs about the health sector vision document goals for 2029 and 2047.
The Minister, in the 30-point document released to the media on Friday (February 21, 2025), asked the officials to review the present stage of application of AI and ML tools in the healthcare services, data collection about people’s health, and also asked them to review workload on ANMs.
He asked them to formulate a roadmap for digitisation of healthcare in the State and an action plan for improving service delivery to the people through ‘phygital’ (physical and digital) means.
He said due attention should be paid to filling of vacancies of doctors, Female and Male Nursing Orderlies (FMO and MNO) and putting a check to unauthorised absence of doctors from duties.
