As part of a pilot project under the Centre's Universal Health Coverage Programme, universal health services will be provided at 75 health sub-centres each in Baran and Churu districts of Rajasthan. The National Health Mission has started preparations for implementing the ambitious project.
State Mission Director Naveen Jain said here that the Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopahy (AYUSH) doctors would provide outdoor services at the sub-centres every evening from October 2. Besides, the residents of the area would get the facility of free-of-cost blood sugar test, haemoglobin test and high risk pregnancy identification.
Mr. Jain said a two-day training programme for AYUSH doctors would be organised here shortly to enable them to make a meaningful contribution to the project.
Besides, preparations are under way for introduction of a new system for online maintenance of medical records by auxiliary nurse midwives and accredited social health activists in 10 districts from October 2.
