Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel has said that no stone will be left unturned in strengthening the health infrastructure and making all facilities accessible to the remote areas of Chhattisgarh.
In view of the experiences experienced during the second wave of Corona, the Chhattisgarh Government has started the work of strengthening the arrangements in government hospitals from villages to district headquarters. Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel has made all the district hospitals and development block level hospitals of the state well equipped. District Collectors have been asked to prepare and submit the completed work plan in 15 days. Mr. Baghel has said that the work of strengthening the health infrastructure has to be done on top priority so that even if a third wave situation does arise, it can be dealt with with full force.
The Chief Minister has said that with a view to strengthen the arrangements for treatment of corona in the last 6 months, oxygen related equipment ICU has been provided in these hospitals. There has been an increase in the number of beds, ventilators etc. Better maintenance and frequent use of these health equipment is also essential to prepare for a possible third wave of corona. The number of doctors in community health centers has also increased significantly in the last few days, but health management needs to be strengthened further.
