He wanted steps to be taken to provide Aarogyasri cards to all the people across the State and directed the officials concerned to prepare digital health profile of the citizens. Responding to the demand to provide certificates to RMPs and PMPs after training them, he instructed the officials to study the situation and explore the possibilities of fulfilling the demand.
The Chief Minister favoured pay hike to medical professional working in rural areas so as to encourage them and suggested that a serial number was allotted to each bed in the State run hospitals.
