Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday launched a mobile app named ‘Health Center in Uttar Pradesh’, developed by the Health department and inaugurated 11 BSL 2 RT-PCR labs in the state on the occasion of World Population Day. Through this mobile app information about the status of district hospitals, community and primary health centers in all the districts of the state can be obtained. Officials said here on Sunday that information about available beds, number of doctors and medicines would also be available in the app.

The chief minister said, We have to take Health ATMs to the community and primary health centres because despite all the efforts, the desired manpower is not available in community health centres (CHCs) and primary health centres (PHCs). Not only will the facility of medical examination be available through Health ATM, specialist medical advice can also be given through teleconsultation. He also distributed shagun kits to two couples on the occasion to encourage family planning.
