Indore (Madhya Pradesh): In a significant step towards enhancing public healthcare services, the first “Health ATM Machine” in the state was inaugurated at the newly constructed Sanjeevani Clinic at Kulkarni Nagar in the city. The event was attended by mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav and MLA Ramesh Mendola, with Mayor-in-Council member Jeetu Yadav sharing the news of the milestone feat.
The machine, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, allows citizens to access over “60 different health tests”, providing quicker and more efficient health services. Mayor Bhargav emphasised the importance of this development, noting that the new machine would allow for immediate testing of key health indicators like blood pressure, blood sugar, haemoglobin, cholesterol, oxygen levels, ECG, weight, height, and more.
This initiative aims to reduce the long waiting times typically associated with these tests. Mendola demonstrated his support for the new service by undergoing a health checkup at the ATM immediately after the inauguration, boosting public confidence in the system.
In addition to the Health ATM Machine, the Sanjeevani Clinic will offer more than 208 essential medicines free of charge, specifically targeting the city's financially disadvantaged populations. This initiative is intended to ensure that quality healthcare, including critical medications, is accessible to all, especially the poor and needy.
