Chhattisgarh government’s Mukhyamantri Slum Swasthya Yojana is providing free of cost healthcare services to labourers and poor people residing in slums of urban areas through mobile medical units.
Camps are being set up daily from 8 am to 3 pm by mobile medical units in slum areas, where free-of-cost medical consultation, treatment, and primary health tests are being provided.
These mobile medical units have a team of a doctor, a lab technician, and a nurse for the convenience of patients. Because of the government's farsightedness, every citizen of the economically-weaker class is reaping the benefits of this.
To make quality health services available, 4 registered mobile medical units are being operated in Nagar Palika Nigam Jagdalpur where a total of 2,135 camps have been set up till September 2022, under which a total of 1,24,194 patients have been treated. Moreover, about 24,333 patients have benefitted from health tests and these figures are continuously increasing.
Besides these, 2 mobile medical units are being run in Bastar Nagar Panchayat. According to statistics, a total of 31 camps have been conducted in Nagar Panchayat Bastar till September 2022, under which 1,524 patients have been treated, 1,392 medicines have been distributed, and 189 lab tests have been conducted.
