The initiative – Palike Vaidyaru Nimma Mane Bagilige (Doctors at your doorstep) – was launched by Revenue Minister R. Ashok, who is also city in-charge, on August 16. Each team will conduct a survey of at least 50 homes every day, while each ward will have five doctors, and more teams will be assigned as needed. Doctors will don a white coat with the name of the initiative printed on it. Doctors have been directed to enter the survey details in the BBMP software every day. Mr. Ashok said that the objective was to ensure that health facilities are made accessible to all categories of citizens.
