- ‘New hope for better health has arisen in the most remote and interior villages’
The Health Department team reached Nugur, a very remote and remote area of Bhairamgarh development block in Bijapur district, under difficult circumstances and provided health services to the villagers. The Universal Health Screening Camp organized under the guidance of Collector Shri Vishwadeep and the leadership of Chief Medical and Health Officer has raised new hopes of health awareness in remote villages. The Health Department team conducted health check-ups of a total of 642 villagers by setting up camps in Nugur, Hingmeta and Hurragwali villages. During this, essential medicines were given to the patients free of cost and serious patients were advised to go to higher health centers for further treatment.
- ‘Health services reached across the Indravati River’
The sub-health center is located approximately 90 kilometers from the Nugur development block headquarters. To reach the center, the health team must cross the Indravati River, which is approximately 2 kilometers wide. For a long time, this area remained out of reach of government programs due to Naxalite influence and difficult conditions, but now government programs are gradually reaching these villages. By reaching the villagers despite difficult routes and geographical challenges, the health team has proven that the government is continuously making sincere efforts to ensure that health services reach the last person.
- ‘Villagers’ confidence in health services has increased’
Health officials explained that villagers previously avoided health checkups and child vaccinations, but now the situation is changing at the grassroots level. Villagers are now volunteering to undergo health checkups and regularly vaccinate their children. This has not only increased health awareness in the villages but is also leading to positive changes in people’s quality of life.
- ‘Comprehensive health check-up done in the camps’
During the health check-up, a total of 642 villagers were examined in three major villages, the details of which are as follows. Village Nugur (total 207 patients) This included 75 NCD screening, 03 fever, 05 itching, examination of 01 pregnant woman and general examination of other 123 patients. Village Hingmeta (total 125 patients) Here 42 NCD screening, 02 itching and 81 other patients were examined. Village Hurragwali (total 310 patients) In this camp, 115 NCD screening, 05 fever, 03 itching and health check-up of 187 other patients were done.
- ‘Government schemes reaching the last mile’
This effort by the Health Department isn’t limited to treatment, but it’s also instilling trust in the administration, health awareness, and hope for a better future among villagers living in remote areas. With regular health services reaching these inaccessible areas, local villagers are now directly benefiting from the government’s public welfare schemes.
