Noida: Noida MLA Pankaj Singh on Saturday directed chief medical officer (CMO) Dr Deepak Ohri to convert the Bhangel community health centre (CHC) into a 75-100 bed L1 Covid facility.
The MLA said that in the future, it will be developed into a better health centre with facilities such as ventilators, operation theatres and other necessary medical equipment.
He also directed to start vaccination drive in the area. This comes after the conversion of Jewar CHC into a 100-bed Covid hospital and plans of upgrading Rabupura and Jahangirpur primary health centres (PHCs).
Meanwhile, Jewar MLA Dhirendra Singh inspected the Bilaspur PHC where Covid testing will begin from Monday. Singh said that Bilaspur caters to a large rural population and upgrading the medical facilities at this PHC will help not only the economically weaker section of this area but also the neighbouring areas as well. “Covid testing facility will be made available from Monday and efforts are being made to have a vaccination centre also ,” he said.
