September 24, 2022

Himachal Medical Officers Association (HMOA) has alleged that the government was trying to implement the Mobile Clinic Scheme without the required manpower and facilities.
The Chief Minister had announced that doctors would be recruited separately for the scheme.
According to HMOA official, the doctors for the scheme are being drawn from PHCs and CHCs.
According to HMOA official, there is also lack of some basic facilities for the diagnosis of the patients.
Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur had announced this scheme during the Budget Session.
Under this scheme, a mobile medical unit, comprising a doctor, a pharmacist and a lab technician, would provide healthcare services in remote and un-serviced areas in all 68 Assembly constituencies.
