JAIPUR: The state government is working on to increase health infrastructure facility at the community health centres (CHC) and primary health centres (PHCs) level as Covid is spreading in rural areas and among the youth. The mortality rate has also much higher than the first wave.
Experts are anticipating a third wave and even a fourth wave. In view of this, the medical and health department has been directed to do planning for the availability of beds, oxygen and other resources up to CHC and PHC level. This will enable people to get treatment locally.
With the absence of quality health care in the rural areas people from villages are coming to the cities leading extra burden on the health infrastructure in the cities. The state government had already announced the setting up of a model CHC at each of the 200 assembly segments. Now these CHCs will have facilities for Covid treatments as well.
