Panaji, Oct 25 Goa Health Minister Vishwajit Rane visited patients receiving home-based healthcare in different parts of the state on Sunday to evaluate their needs and review ongoing support systems, an official said.
The initiative specifically focused on vulnerable groups, including senior citizens, bedridden individuals, stroke survivors, and others who receive regular medical monitoring at home.
During the visits, Rane interacted with patients and their families to understand their requirements and ensure that necessary healthcare support was being provided at home, including physiotherapy and regular monitoring by health services.
The minister said the initiative aimed to extend healthcare services across Goa and ensure that patients who find it difficult to travel to hospitals receive appropriate care at their homes.
He said the state government was working in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of taking healthcare to people’s doorsteps.
The home-based care programme seeks to support vulnerable patients, particularly senior citizens and those with limited mobility, through continued medical supervision and assistance from healthcare professionals.
