The Health Minister Balbir Singh said that over 44 lakh patients have been benefited from these AACs and more than 20 lakhs of patients have already undergone free tests in less than one year. In addition, medicines worth Rs 30.25 crore have been provided to the patients during the past one year at these clinics.
Apart from the AACs, the state government has taken numerous initiatives to strengthen the health sector. These include the appointment of 300 house surgeons to improve the emergency services at district and sub-divisional hospitals. Moreover, 200 Post-PG students have been bonded to serve as contractual medical officers with the state health department.
