In an interview with Hindus, the President of APMCA N. Niranjan said: “According to National Health Mission (NHM), nearly 23,000 employees, of which 10,000 community health professionals (Chos) work in AP.
Previously, when we organized a protest in November 2023, a special main secretary of the Ministry of Health, Medical and Family Care MT Krishna Babu assured that our problems would solve, Niranjan said, adding that even though no announcements remained in favor of Chos.
