If patients with long-term illnesses miss their medication, they will get a call from the nearest war room of the BMC. The civic body has decided to use the ward-based war rooms that were set up during the pandemic to ensure citizens’ well-being.
The BMC will appoint 5,575 Asha workers, who will visit 250 houses each over a period of time. “These workers will collect updates on the health condition of every citizen,” said a BMC official. The Asha workers will make note of every citizen’s health status and whether or not they are undergoing medical treatment, and this information will be shared with medical officers and war rooms.
