How will you improve healthcare access in rural communities lacking hospitals, doctors and medicines?
I will revitalize at least one Primary Health Care center in every political ward, equipped with essential medicines and solar power, and backed by rural posting allowances for doctors and nurses. Where specialist care is needed, regional specialist medical centers will connect to rural communities through ambulance networks and telemedicine. I'm also raising health worker pay and improving conditions to stop migration, so your community's clinic stays staffed, stocked, and working for you.
