The Health and Medical Education Departments came under fire at the Legislative Council on Monday with Opposition members questioning the need for ‘Namma Clinics’ in urban areas when the existing Primary Health Centres (PHCs) are languishing.
Raising the issue, JD(S) member C.N. Manje Gowda asked why the government is coming up with Namma Clinics instead of upgrading the existing health facilities. “When you do not have enough doctors for the existing facilities, where will you get doctors for the Namma Clinics?” he asked.
