About 17 Basthi Dawakhanas were opened by the Health Minister C Laxma Reddy on April 6. Medical facilities are provided free of cost in these clinics and 70 patients are visiting every day in these clinics. Additional Commissioner Health, Sikta Patnayak said that each Basti Dawakhana was spending Rs 7 lakh for providing medicines. She said that the initiative was inspired by the Mohalla Clinics of New Delhi.
