In the Chintoor area in Alluri Sitarama Raju (ASR) district and in Eluru district, people who have fallen sick are finding it difficult to gain access to medical treatment.
Those suffering from prolonged illness and stranded in the flood-hit habitations are the worst-hit. In many affected areas, locals are braving the floodwaters and hiring boats to admit their loved ones in the hospitals nearby.
Though the government hospital at Bhadrachalam is the nearest major hospital, access to it remains cut off.
Meanwhile, officials of respective districts have intensified relief operations by reaching out to the tribal habitations on boats.
