Speaking at the sideline, Robert Singh Kshetrimayum said that the delivery point was opened for encouraging institutional delivery among the villagers. Even though the delivery point was opened the PHSC has only the minimum requirement and lots of works need to be taken up for improving the health centre such as renovation of the building and construction of fencing, added the DC. While assuring to take up necessary action to improve the Health Centre at his capacity, the Deputy Commissioner further said that the success of running the PHSC smoothly does not depend only upon the staff of the health center but it also depends on the co-operation of the local people too.
