Mendipathar MLA Marthon J Sangma inaugurated the Godapara health sub-centre in North Garo Hills today.
Officially dubbed an Ayushman Bharat Health and Wellness Centre, the sub-centre is at the lowest rung of the health ladder, offering basic but important services.
Addressing the gathering during the inauguration programme, Sangma said the sub-centre was an initiative to bring healthcare services closer to the people. The sub-centre will benefit people in the Godapara area as it would provide basic healthcare services at their doorstep, saving them time from commuting to the primary health centre in Dainadubi, Sangma added.
The facility will provide basic outpatient services, antenatal care, screening of non-communicable diseases, etc.
North Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner AK Singh lauded the Health Department for launching of the new sub-centre and further appealed before the gathering for cooperation and maximum utilisation of the facility.
Medical officers who spoke during the programme were Dr PR Sangma, Dr NR Marak, Dr Rezia Sangma and others of North Garo Hills.
