Why this programme was launched in Chennai?
Metropolitan Area of Chennai is home to about10.9 million people. It's the fourth most abounding metropolitan area of India. Despite being an profitable powerhouse, the town has not kept pace with the growing demand for vital services. This city is also considerably vulnerable to natural disasters, climate change as well as to epidemics like COVID-19. hence, this strategy will help in relieving all similar challenges.

It'll also advantage health sector staff across the primary and secondary places by strengthening planning and administration capabilities. It'll help in making the clinical expertise of staff and enable women to operate healthcare services in better manner at the community degree.
