Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Bharati Pravin Pawar on Sunday (September 24) said the ‘Ayushman Bhava’ initiative was launched to strengthen the primary healthcare in the country.
“It is our aim to ensure that no one is left out of the network of healthcare facilities that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is offering to the people,” she said.
The Minister, who was in Vijayawada to attend the launch of the Vande Bharat Express train between Chennai and Vijayawada, inaugurated a blood-donation camp at KBN college in Vijayawada and later visited an urban primary health centre (UPHC) in the Housing Board colony of the city. She said 500 units of blood have been collected in the camp. Over 8,000 units of blood were collected in 250 camps held across the State during the drive.
