Govt boosts family planning with new transport facility
Chhapra: The govt has introduced a new measure to boost public-centred healthcare by extending ambulance transport facilities to beneficiaries of female sterilisation and male vasectomy procedures. This information was conveyed to civil surgeons across various districts by Priya Ranjan Raju, officer on special duty (OSD) and in charge of referral transport. It is worth noting that this facility was already available to other categories such as women after childbirth, newborns and patients with critical illnesses. Going forward, the service will also cover individuals undergoing sterilisation and vasectomy procedures. Civil surgeons and district programme officers have been instructed to ensure that these beneficiaries are transported home via the 102 ambulance service following their operations. According to health department sources, the aim of the initiative is to strengthen and promote the family planning programme. Saran civil surgeon Dr Sagar Dulal Sinha said that family planning services are available across all health centres, from primary health centres to other government hospitals. He added that other methods of family planning such as Mala-N, Copper T and others are also provided at govt facilities.
