The Chief Minister Health for All Scheme was launched on Tuesday for five new villages of Kamjong district at District Hospital Kamjong.
Joint director cum SNO CM Health for All, Y Premchandra explained the different benefits of annual screening of 10 NCDs in the scheme. He stressed about the ongoing confirmation of those suspected patients found on screening and initiation of treatment with free drug supply.
CMHA screening has been completed in 15 villages and around 2,000 citizens of Kamjong district and is now targeted to cover an additional 4018 population of 18 years and above of this district till September 2022.
Free Telemedicine services are also being extended to the staff and patients at the doorstep by specialist doctors at state and district headquarters. This has lessened the need of patients coming to Imphal for consultation of treatment of Diabetes, Heart disease etc. It has been a game changer for citizens in far flung areas such as Kamjomg which is taking around 5-6 hrs to reach the state headquarter to consult a specialist.
The function was attended by CMO Kamjong, Lucy Duidang; SDO Kamjong Samuel T Lhungdim.
