Bhuse presents health card to children for treatment facilities

Nashik: District guardian minister Dada Bhuse on Friday presented health cards to children, who will get access to better health check-ups and treatment facilities free of cost.

Bhuse presented the cards to children under the zilla parishad health check-up scheme for those aged in the 0-18 year age group. The check-ups will be conducted once every three months and the record would be maintained with the class teachers. ZP chief executive officer Ashima Mittal and other officials were present.

“The health scheme will ensure complete monitoring of health of every child as the check-up will be done regularly at their schools. The children will not need to go anywhere else for the checks. The screening will act as a major preventive measure to ensure better health of the children,” said Bhuse.

The minister also laid the foundation of Jal Jeevan Mission for the residents of Chandanapuri in Malegaon taluka. The government has approved Rs 11 crore for the tapped water scheme for the village that will also provide drinking water to several settlements in the vicinity for which pipeline would be laid.
