The State government has decided to extend the concept of basti dawakhanas to municipalities across the State following the successful results achieved since they were made operational in the GHMC limits for taking health care to the doorsteps of the common man.
The government has accordingly decided to open 288 basti dawakhanas in the municipalities in two phases in the coming days for taking quality medicare to the people. Ministers T. Harish Rao and K.T. Rama Rao, who reviewed the functioning of the Health department with senior officials, directed them to take steps to open basti dawakhanas in municipalities in two phases and the process should be completed before the State Formation Day, June 2.
Mr. Harish Rao said that basti dawakhanas, which were started following instructions from Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, brought down healthcare costs for the common man besides providing quality medical services. It was therefore decided to open 288 basti dawakhanas in 141 municipalities across the State in the next six months.
