Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel launched the Kondagaon district administration’s new initiative 'Doctor Tumcho Dwaar' campaign on June 6, 2023. The initiative is achieving its goal of providing healthcare services to remote areas via phone calls. Tribal communities residing in remote and inaccessible villages are delighted to have doctors' services at their doorstep. The district administration's effort is receiving widespread praise for its commendable initiative.

The Kondagaon district administration's commendable initiative to bring healthcare services to remote villages is now receiving a positive response. Since its launch just a week ago, the campaign has successfully provided timely medical assistance to patients in need. Trained doctors and paramedical staff are visiting the homes of patients, offering free check-ups, treatments, and medications. Additionally, the team is making referrals for further treatment based on the patient’s health conditions. This initiative has particularly benefitted the elderly and immobile patients who are unable to seek medical help outside their homes

The pilot project, "Doctor Tumcho Dwaar" campaign, has been initiated for the inaccessible areas of the Baderajpur and Farasgaon blocks. Villagers from these areas including Badedongar, Alor, Phupgaon, Kabonga, and more are now reaping the benefits of this project.

To enhance the implementation of "Doctor Tumcho Dwaar, a 24-hour call centre has been established. This allows patients residing in inaccessible villages to directly seek medical assistance. Upon receiving a call, doctors and paramedical staff visit the patient's home to provide necessary treatment.
