Technicality sends Asola villagers to health centre located 55km away

Nagpur | Saturday | 22nd September, 2018

Summary:

Once a village comes under a PHC, the staff is accountable for the health situation there. Going by the norms, Asola is linked to the PHC in Sawargaon. Though there is another PHC barely 6km away in Manikwada, it is not officially meant for Asola.This is because Asola comes under Yavatmal taluka while Manikwada is in Ner taluka. Ajay Rathore, a pathologist from the village, had tested blood samples of 172 persons and found high creatinine level in 61. Each village or a group is linked to a PHC..
