To provide healthcare benefits to 23 lakh people in Diamond Harbour Lok Sabha constituency, TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee has announced launch of ‘Sebaashray’ programme from January 2 next year.
The Sebaashray programme would continue for two and half months.
The TMC National general secretary said the programme would be launched at Amtala under the constituency and it will cover 23 lakh residents across seven assembly constituencies, 71 rural gram panchayats, and 93 urban wards.
“The initiative is supported by a camp machinery consisting of 1,200 doctors, 500 diagnisticians, 1,500 volunteers and 12 referral hospitals,” he said on Saturday. Over 2,800 active camp days are planned, with 40 camps operating daily with an expected footfall of 500 people at every camp on an average.
Banerjee said after the end of the Sebaashray initiative in March 2025 a convention of 5,000 doctors will be organised.
