Each unit has doctors, medical staff, medicines, diagnostics and tech-enabled EMR, and will focus on NCD screening, cancer and eye check-ups, besides referrals.
Flagging off the units, Sangma said health and education have been his government’s top priority since 2018, adding that real success will be measured not by the launch but by lives saved on the ground.
