Doorstep healthcare campaign launched for labourers in Maliya Hatina

According to a report by Sandesh, the Maliya Hatina Taluka Health Office has undertaken a special campaign for the health of local and migrant farm labourers and workers. Under the guidance of Taluka Health Officer Dr. Dabhi, health department teams are providing services by reaching vadi areas, shanties located in fields, and remote regions.

During this operation, health workers conducted face-to-face visits to primarily examine nursing mothers and pregnant women. The teams carried out health screenings for mothers and children, reviewed vaccination status, and measured hemoglobin levels. Along with this, essential medicines such as calcium and iron-folic acid were distributed free of cost.

The health department provided guidance to mothers on the importance of institutional delivery, breastfeeding, and nutritious diets. With the objective that no labourer or their family remains deprived of healthcare services, employees are visiting sites to provide facilities such as the diagnosis of common ailments and timely vaccination for children.
