Asptal – Sansad Mobile
Swasthya Seva

Ensuring accessible health and a healthy society

Over the last five years, India has made remarkable progress in improving access to last-mile healthcare. Innovative and progressive schemes like Ayushman Bharat, have ensured that no one is left behind!

 

However, at times, given the geographical challenges, this improved access may not reach the people residing in remote locations. Thus, the clarion call to begin Asptal – Sansad Mobile Swasthya Seva was taken to address issues pertinent to primary healthcare in Hamirpur Parliamentary Constituency, Himachal Pradesh.
