To provide prompt healthcare services to the needy in Telangana’s remote tribal pockets in Bhadrachalam Agency area, a mobile hospital was inaugurated at Pusuguppa village in the Charla mandal of Bhadradri Kothagudem district, bordering Chhattisgarh.
The mobile hospital/telemedicine building was inaugurated by Bhadrachalam MLA Dr. Tellam Venkata Rao in the presence of the district Collector Jitesh V. Patil and Superintendent of Police B. Rohith Raju in Pusuguppa village on Friday.
The facility, set up under the Special Central Assistance (SCA) scheme at an estimated cost of Rs 1 crore, will cater to the healthcare needs of adivasis living in several remote tribal villages in the Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) affected areas along the Telangana-Chhattisgarh border. An ambulance was flagged off by the MLA at the newly inaugurated facility on the occasion.
The mobile hospital will help fill the critical gaps in the public health infrastructure in the remote tribal pockets of Bhadrachalam Agency, sources said.
It will also offer emergency medical services to the needy in the forested border region.
The MLA lauded the initiative of the district police in improving road connectivity and healthcare services in far flung areas of Charla mandal, inhabited by adivasis.
