Single window system for HIV infected in Chhattisgarh
Raipur: HIV-infected people in Chhattisgarh will now be able to avail the benefits of government schemes through a single window system.
The states health department will soon introduce the single window scheme for HIV infected people seeking benefits of social security schemes, a health officer here told PTI.
"States Health Director and Project Director, Chhattisgarh State AIDS Control Society (CGSACS) Ranu Sahu in a letter to all district collectors has asked to start the scheme in their respective districts which will prevent the HIV victims from visiting various offices seeking help," he said.
The scheme will benefit as many as 27,000 people infected with HIV in the state, he added.
Under the scheme, the victims can submit their applications at any of these centres -- Integrated Counselling and Testing Centres (ICTCs), ART (anti-retroviral therapy) centres, Targeted Intervention centres, link ART centres and state level networks designated by medical college and government hospitals of the state, the official said.
