“The government aims to provide health security to the poor people. Even though poor people are under NTR medical service for some diseases, they are suffering financially due to receiving treatment in hospitals by spending huge money.  Financial assistance will be provided from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund to everyone who is suffering financially and the Government will support them in every way,” the Minister asserted.

He called upon voluntary organizations to set up such free medical camps in the coming days.
He advised the people to undergo medical tests if they suffered any health problems. taking a dig at the erstwhile YSRCP regime, he alleged that the previous government completely ruined the health sector and neglected the health of the poor.  The people were not given proper financial help from the CMRF, he regretted.
