Bihar to launch health drive for poor

Patna: 27th January 2012

The Bihar government will launch a three-month-long health drive from Saturday to treat some 10 million poor people. Officials hope to reach out to the poorest of the poor in the rural parts. "The 'Swasthya Chetna Yatra' will end on April 30," Health Minister Ashwani Kumar Choubey said here. Choubey said doctors would go to rural areas which normally lack health facilities, reports IANS. "At the health camps, specialised doctors, yoga trainers and Ayurvedic and Unani experts would be involved," he said.
