CM directive to set up over 5K HWCs on priority

Saturday, 27 November 2021 | PNS | Lucknow

Aiming to augment the rural health infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed senior officials to complete the setting-up of over 5,000 sub-health and wellness centres (HWCs) on a priority basis.

“A total of 5,000 new health sub-centres will be set up to cater to the needs of the rural populace. This will provide communities with comprehensive primary health care services closer to their homes. Through these new health centres the schemes of government for villagers will also be implemented in a proper manner. The Health department will ensure the presence of necessary medical equipment, doctors, and paramedical staff at these new sub-centres,” the chief minister said.

“We have worked in a planned and phased manner to expand healthcare facilities and improve the medical and health infrastructure across the state. The state government has laid special focus on enhancing health facilities for the people residing in rural and remote areas of the state,” Yogi said.

The new health and wellness centres (HWCs) will have arrangements for maternal health, child health, immunisation, adolescent health, diabetes, blood pressure check-up, and treatment for communicable and non-communicable diseases. Besides, activities like yoga and exercise, counseling, health education, emergency medical facilities will be available there. Apart from immunisation and maternal health check-up and treatment, people will also be made aware of ways to prevent the spread of seasonal diseases.
