Dehradun: Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami flagged off the Mobile Medical Unit vehicles under the “Rural Garhwal Comprehensive Healthcare Project” from the Chief Minister’s Camp Office on Thursday. This project has been initiated by Graphic Era Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Dehradun, inspired by the Chief Minister.
The Chief Minister said that the state government is committed to ensuring that people are not deprived of healthcare services due to geographical and economic reasons. This initiative will make it easier to provide timely and quality medical facilities to remote villages. This is a commendable effort towards ensuring primary healthcare facilities, free tests, consultations, and availability of medicines in remote and inaccessible rural areas.
The first phase of this project has been launched in Chamoli and Tehri Garhwal districts. Two fully equipped mobile medical units have been deployed there. Through these units, general medical services, more than 29 free pathology tests, free medicine distribution, eye examinations, health consultations, and referral services will be provided. A doctor will be present in each mobile unit. These units will visit villages, towns, schools, and markets at scheduled times to provide medical services. Coordination will be maintained with the district officials for this purpose.
On this occasion, Chairman of Graphic Era Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Kamal Ghansala, Dr. Puneet Tyagi, Dr. S.L. Jethani, Major General (Retd.) O.P. Soni, and Dr. Subhash Gupta were present.
