In both urban and rural regions, the Uttar Pradesh government has been closely monitoring the medical services offered by Community Health Centers (CHCs). In order to guarantee that patients get thorough care, particularly at night, Divisional Deputy Directors have been assigned to supervise all CHCs within their respective jurisdictions.

Parth Sarathi Sen Sharma, the principal secretary of the health department, gave departmental authorities instructions to ensure that all CHCs provide nighttime services, with staff and physicians on duty and all equipment in working order. He gave the Divisional Additional Directors the task of making sure these preparations were made.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s recent decision to maintain CHCs’ full functionality is followed by this directive. Five physicians and around twelve support personnel work at each of Uttar Pradesh’s 972 CHCs, which are spread throughout both urban and rural regions. Emergency services at CHCs, according to health experts, will lessen the patient burden on district hospitals and medical schools.

Additionally, authorities were instructed by the Principal Secretary to make sure that the ongoing vaccination and measles-rubella (MR) eradication programs achieve their goals. He reaffirmed the need of doing electrical and fire safety audits for every institution, acquiring the required authorizations, and quickly fixing any flaws found.

In order to guarantee sufficient supply of medications, pathology test kits, and vaccinations, he also directed authorities to assign District Residency Program students to the Chief Minister’s Public Health Fairs, which are conducted every Sunday.
