The Gautam Budh Nagar administration has initiated plans to improve healthcare access for industrial and construction workers by collaborating with private hospitals. Following a review meeting led by district magistrate Medha Roopam, the administration directed hospitals to use their corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds to organize regular health camps. These camps will focus on screenings for eye ailments and serious health issues such as breast and cervical cancers, extending services to the families of workers. To enhance outreach, mobile medical vans and mini outpatient departments (OPDs) will be established in areas with high worker populations. The administration also emphasized the need for adequate medical resources at government facilities, including district hospitals and community health centers. Implementation will commence once hospitals submit detailed plans for coordination. Additionally, efforts are underway to expand the network of hospitals under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, aimed at providing affordable healthcare to workers and their families.
