Health and Family Welfare Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu today handed over appointment letters to 771 community health officers (CHOs) for extending healthcare services at Health and Wellness Centres (HCWs) under the Ghar Ghar Rozgar Yojna initiated by Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh.
The minister said the government had earlier operationalised 1,607 Tandrust Punjab Sehat Kendras at village level. The number would now go up to 2,378. He said the state had already achieved the target as regards setting up new HWCs/sub-centres across the state.
Welcoming the newly joined staff in the Health Department, Sidhu urged them to perform their duties honestly. He said the CHOs had been providing comprehensive primary health services to the people of rural areas and they did a remarkable job during the lockdown.
