Department of Health and Family Welfare in Dakshina Kannada is working towards starting 14 “Namma clinics” in the areas where construction labourers and other migratory people reside. The 14 clinics will be among the 438 to come up across the State in the first phase. The State government has proposed to set up a total of 940 such clinics.
District Health and Family Welfare Officer M. Kishore Kumar said seven clinics will come up in Mangalore City Corporation limits, while the remaining seven will come up in Sullia, Bantwal, Puttur, Kadaba, Mulki, Moodbidri, and Ullal. Each of these clinics will have a doctor, a staff nurse, a laboratory technician, and a group D employee. These clinics will treat common ailments and refer patients to other government hospitals for advanced treatment.
The places where this clinic will come up include Meenakaliya, Panchhanady, and Lingappayya Kadu. In a week’s time the 1000-square foot government building or a rented accommodation where a clinic can be set up will be finalised.
