The Chief Minister flagged off two Health on Wheels (ambulances) introduced by the State Mineral Development Corporation at the Secretariat on Wednesday which will provide their services in the Agency areas. Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said that his ambition is to develop the State as a health hub where there should not be non-availability of medical services to anyone wherever he lives.
Expressing happiness over the generosity of State Mineral Development Corporation, which took it as a social responsibility to introduce mobile medical services, he appealed to the Centre and State institutions, NRIs and philanthropists to help realise his goal of making the State a medical hub.
The Chief Minister said that the two ambulances will extend their services in the 17 Agency areas falling under Visakhapatnam and Vizianagaram districts. The vehicles which will be linked to GPS will conduct medical camps in one village every day, he said.
The medical reports prepared during the medical camps organised by these ambulances will be linked with the CM Dash Board which will help in providing better medical services to the Agency people, the Chief Minister said.
He asked the Swachh Andhra Mission executive vice-chairman Dr CL Venkatarao to submit a report on the requirement of medical equipment for Chandranna Sanchara Vaidyasalalu (mobile medical clinics). The officials briefed that each vehicle possesses facilities for conducting 200 different kinds of medical tests and they will also perform ECG, blood and stool tests. Cancer diagnosis equipment will also be introduced very soon, they said.
