Hyderabad: Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy has said that it is not necessary to link ration cards with the Arogyasri health cards for the poor to receive healthcare services.
In a meeting with all the district collectors and district SPs that was also attended by his council of ministers at Dr BR Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat on Tuesday, Revanth instructed the officials to prepare a digital health profile for the citizens by collecting the Arogyasri details.
The chief minister suggested hiking the remuneration of doctors working in the rural areas. He also advised to allocate a serial number for each bed in government hospitals.
Revanth asked the district collectors present in the meeting to ensure adequate medical facilities in tribal areas, and to built a special system to maintain the hospital infrastructure.
Collectors are eyes and ears of the govt: CM
Chief minister Revanth Reddy instructed the district collectors to interact with the people to understand their grassroots-level concerns, and advised them not to confine themselves to their air-conditioned offices.
“Those of you who are from different states, consider Telangana your state and integrate yourself into its culture to serve the people,” he said.
He asked the district collectors present in the meeting to take all measures to ensure quality education is imparted to each student.
