Hanamkonda: Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) in Warangal Rural district were being equipped with ‘wings’ to tour the villages in the form of subsidised two-wheelers under Health, Medical and Family Welfare Department’s scheme, ‘Rekkalu’ (Wings).
Of the 180 ANMs, who have applied for the subsidised scooters, as many as 18 were given the vehicles at a programme at the Rural district collectorate in Hanamkonda on Wednesday by the District Collector M Haritha.
Addressing the midwives on the occasion, the Collector asked them to ensure quality medical services to the rural people. The scooters were being offered on subsidy to make it easy for the ANMs to visit the villages in offering their services and they should be put to best use, she said.
