Healthcare improved at village level in Andhra Pradesh, says Health Minister

Minister for Health, Family Welfare and Medical Education Vidadala Rajini has said that the burden on the tertiary healthcare staff has been eased because of the strengthening of the primary and secondary healthcare facilities with adequate staff and infrastructure in the State.

Ms. Rajini has said that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy envisaged strengthening the village-level healthcare system, and the same has been achieved by recruiting over 49,000 staff and establishing more village health clinics.

About 80% of the population is getting healthcare services at primary and secondary healthcare facilities, she said at the inauguration of the Administrative Training Programme for Principals, Superintendents and Administrators organised by the Health Department in Vijayawada on Wednesday.
