Every PHC in A.P. to get two ‘family doctors’

₹4,000 cr. spent on Aarogyasri, 2,466 procedures brought under its purview, says Chief Minister
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has said the government was implementing the family doctor concept by appointing two doctors in each Primary Health Centre (PHC), who would be visiting villages and offering medical services through the 104 service vehicles.
In the last 29 months, a sum of nearly ₹4,000 crore was spent on the Aarogyasri scheme and 2,466 procedures were brought under its purview. Another significant thing which the government did was to widen its scope by increasing the annual income limit to ₹5 lakh, which resulted in the coverage of 95% of the population, the Chief Minister said during a discussion on the health sector in the Legislative Assembly on Thursday.
Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that super specialty services were being offered under the Aarogyasri scheme in over 130 empanelled hospitals in cities such as Hyderabad, Chennai and Bengaluru. The YSRCP government has cleared the unpaid bills amounting to ₹680 crore to the network hospitals, which were kept by the previous dispensation.
