Construction of 12-bed primary health centre in Mahugaon underway

Mhow (Madhya Pradesh): Health services are being upgraded in the tehsil. Initially, primary health centers were upgraded. Later, a new NRC building was constructed at the Community Health Center in Manpur.

Now, a hi-tech health center is being constructed behind Model school in Mahugaon to ensure better health services to the large population.

The center would be equipped with the latest facilities including X-ray and minor operation theatre. A 12-bed primary health center is also being constructed at Mahugaon at the cost of Rs 1.71 crore. This primary health would have a female and a male ward with six-beds each along with two labor rooms, OPD, X-ray room, AYUSH OPD, cold chain room, minor OT, pathology, tracing room and washroom. Along with this, all facilities from registration for room will be there. This is being built right behind the model school. The work started last month and would be completed by September 2023.

The area where the Primary Health Center is being built has a large population. There was no primary health center nearby. The health department had applied for land for this center in the SDM office after which the vacant land was allotted. After the formation of the centre, the population living here will not have to go to Dharnaka for treatment.

SDM Akshat Jain said that the health department had demanded the country. “We later allotted vacant land to the Model School in terms of population,” he added.
