Speaking during the meeting, DC acknowledged the importance of the Red Cross Society as a humanitarian organisation which actively supports the district's welfare activities. He stressed upon the officers, volunteers, and civil society members to actively contribute to the Red Cross Society, not just in terms of financial support but also through voluntary service and public engagement.
Hamid further directed health and allied departments to conduct regular Information, Education and Communication (IEC) activities including physical camps and outreach activities, particularly in the remote areas to improve the functioning and delivery of welfare schemes particularly the beneficiary oriented ones. He also called for regular monitoring of schemes so that there is accountability at all levels of health governance within the district.
Other decisions taken in the meeting pertained to inter-departmental coordination, intensifying enrollment of beneficiaries under schemes, enhancement of outreach services in remote areas and improvement of quality of health services.
Earlier, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Anantnag delivered a detailed presentation, showcasing the range of activities carried out under the aegis of the Red Cross Society in the district.
