To mention that North Karnataka has fewer professional doctors compared to South Karnataka, a member of the Basavaraj Bommai parliament emphasized the need for the region to focus on this question.
On Monday, he said in the Guttal Guttal Health Health Center in Guttal in the Region, in the ratio of hospital beds to patients in the region on Monday at the Guttal Community Center, Sasakt Parivaar (a healthy woman, authorized family).
“There are approximately one doctor in the north of Karnataka for every 1,000 patients, while in the south one doctor is available for every 250 patients,” he said.
The program was jointly organized by the Ministry of Health and the care of the Family of the Union and the Department of Health and Family Care within the 75th Birthday of Prime Minister Narendry Modi.
Mr. Bommai, who has developed the importance of community health, said health existed at different levels. “The individual’s health affects the health of the family, community, the state and the nation. The protection of national health begins with the health of every individual. It is everyone’s responsibility,” he said.
Pointing out that in places like Guttal, not all experts are available, he said there was a lack of experts in the district hospital. Although a government medical college has been established in the district, there are no specialized doctors to teach postgraduate students, a problem that requires immediate attention, he said.
Mr. Bommai said that within the Ayushman Bharat system, the central government provides 5 lakh and approximately 2 crore people benefited from it in the state.
Mr. Bommai said about the initiatives acquired during his term of office as the main minister, and stated that during his main minister 750 was upgraded to the primary health center and 75 such centers were upgraded to higher standards.
The former MLA Veerupakshappa Ballari, district medical staff M. Jayanand, Taluk healthcare professionals and others were present.
