Chandigarh, Oct 14
Embarking on a comprehensive mission to further elevate the public healthcare infrastructure, the Punjab government is all set to open 236 new Aam Aadmi Clinics -- taking the total to 1,117 -- Health and Family Welfare Minister Balbir Singh said here on Tuesday.
Highlighting the success of the Aam Aadmi Clinics, Balbir Singh said the initiative has significantly improved public access to quality primary care.
Balbir Singh announced that Punjab is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for early detection and management of critical diseases like breast cancer and stroke.
Civil Surgeons were instructed to intensify anti-dengue activities in potential hotspot areas to ensure this positive trend continues.
In a move to foster a culture of excellence and dedication, the Health Minister lauded the heroic efforts of doctors and paramedical staff during the recent floods and promised the unveiling of a new policy to annually honour and recognise hard-working personnel.
