CM Jagan to Launch Aarogya Suraksha in AP on Sept 30:
“Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy conducted a review meeting on Wednesday regarding the Jaganana Aarogya Suraksha program. During the meeting, he instructed officials to launch the program on September 30, similar to the Jagananna Suraksha initiative, with a focus on visiting every household to help residents address their health issues. The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of organizing health camps on designated days and addressing health concerns in all households as part of the program.
He announced that the Jagananna Aarogya Suraksha program would commence on September 30 across the state, and he urged officials to ensure its success, much like the Jagananna Suraksha program. In a virtual review meeting about the YSR Aarogyasri program, the Chief Minister informed district collectors that the program would run for 45 days in four phases. The fifth phase would involve continuous support for chronic patients through family doctors and village clinics to ensure ongoing treatment.
Additionally, the Chief Minister unveiled a brochure titled ‘How to Access Free Medical Treatment under ‘YSR Aarogyasri,’ published by the Aarogyasri Health Care Trust. He outlined the phases of the program, including the involvement of volunteers, community workers, and health workers in identifying health issues, creating awareness about the Aarogyasri App, and organizing health camps. Throughout the process, family doctors and village clinics would play a pivotal role. The first phase was scheduled to begin on September 15, with the first health camp in all areas taking place on September 30.
The Jagananna Aarogya Suraksha program aims to provide periodic diagnosis, consultation, and medication supply to patients, particularly those with chronic conditions. The Chief Minister stressed the importance of organizing general health and eye camps in each village and ward. After conducting diagnostic tests, residents would be advised on treatment methods and provided with free medicines and eyeglasses by family doctors.
The goal was to identify individuals with chronic illnesses, as well as those with high blood pressure, diabetes, anemia, pregnant and lactating women, dialysis, and paralysis patients, along with neonatal cases, in every village and ward. The fifth phase would involve counseling patients and directing them to Aarogyasri hospitals for necessary treatment.
The Chief Minister emphasized the need for monthly health camps in at least four villages in every mandal to ensure coverage across all villages every six months. The meeting was attended by several officials, including the Health Minister, Chief Secretary, and other department heads.” Please note that this is a paraphrased version of the text, and some details may have been condensed or reformulated for brevity and clarity.
