The Haryana government will soon introduce 100 mobile clinics in the state to provide health care facilities in urban slum areas.
K.V. Singh, officer on special duty in the office of the Chief Minister, Haryana, said this while talking to mediapersons here today.
He said Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda had approved the proposal.
The government, he said, had taken a decision for rationalisation of health services under which all community health centres (CHC) of the state would have doctors of at least five specialties, including medicine, surgery, gynaecology, paediatrics and anaesthesia.
He said under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), all CHCs and general hospitals would be developed into first referral units, having all necessary facilities.
The government had provided several incentives to doctors to encourage them to work in rural and backward areas of Mewat and the Morni Hills.
The ceiling on non-practising allowance paid to the doctors had also been removed, he added.
