Karnataka plans overhaul of primary health centres, more beds, better infra on cards

In a meeting convened by the CM at his home-office ‘Krishna’, Health and Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar presented a detailed plan on how a network of model PHCs could be established. He also put forward a plan to enable these rudimentary health centres with modern equipment so that they can offer emergency medical services round the clock.
Elaborating his plan, Sudhakar said each PHC will have three or four doctors, including an AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy) practitioner and a female doctor, instead of a single medical officer. “The PHC building will also include facilities such as Yoga and wellness centre, a well-equipped laboratory to facilitate basic blood and other tests, a radiology centre with an X-ray unit, good quality cameras and TVs to facilitate expert doctor consultation through telemedicine,” he said.

E-push: Bengaluru to get 100 electric vehicle battery swapping stations

The CM added, “With the government encouraging the use of EVs, these battery-swapping units, besides cutting down charging time, will also help reduce the weight of vehicles, increase mileage, and make it possible to drive for longer hours.”
A fleet of Piaggio Ape E-City three-wheelers run by MetroRide will begin using the new facility. “Our commitment is to increase adoption of EVs in the shared mobility sector, in Bengaluru, by making refuelling faster, cheaper, more accessible and convenient,” Chetan Maini, co-founder, and vice-chairman, Sun Mobility said.
He added that through the partnership with other stakeholders, the firm aims to develop a similar supporting ecosystem by opening 100 swap points by the end of next year which can power and support all forms of shared mobility in the city, including two-wheelers, three-wheelers and last-mile delivery trucks.
