New health secy to beef up rural medical setup KK Soan to inspect primary and community heal hubs in remote areas
The state health department will focus on strengthening the health setup at the rural areas of Jharkhand in a bid to ease the load on premiere healthcare centres in the cities, newly-appointed health secretary KK Soan, who will be on an inspection spree in the coming week, said on Saturday.
“We will start inspecting the Primary Health Centres and Community Health Centres in the far-flung villages and address the problems there,” said Soan. “Since our priority is rural health infrastructure, the department’s active involvement in strengthening the healthcare centres in rural areas will be crucial in addressing the loopholes in the system,” he added.
