BANGALORE: To mark Suvarna Karnataka celebrations, the health department has planned the setting up of 100 primary health centers in regions where there are none. Health minister R Ashok told reporters here on Tuesday that the CM had resolute to the proposal.
""We would identify areas that need PHCs in consultation with MLAs and MLCs. We could also upgrade existing PHCs from 30 beds to 50 beds or 50 beds to 100 beds and start the scheme before November 1," he outlined.
The other proposal that would come into force within the next two months is health insurance for landless labor.
Ashok said each of the insured - five in one family - will obtain up to Rs 30,000 in one lump-sum for any medical problem.
