MEDICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES

ORGANIsATION

Now medical and public health activities in the district are under the control of the Zilla Parishad and the State Government. All the hospitals are looked after by the Civil Surgeon as State's district representative whereas the dispensaries and primary health centres are controlled by the local bodies. With the formation of the Zilla Parishad in 1962 the Health Department's work in the district is now within the purview of the Zilla Parishad. A subjects committee looks after its working and the District Health Officer works as secretary to the committee as well as officer-in-charge of the health activities in the district.
