The infrastructure of Basti Dawakhanas in Hyderabad and Secunderabad is urgently in need of improvement as well as an increase in working hours to handle patients suffering from viral diseases such as typhoid, dengue, Chikungunya, cold, cough, body aches, and more.
People in the middle and lower classes greatly benefit from the Basti Dawakhana under Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. However, people are facing great inconvenience because this Dawakhana only operates for a short time. Neither of these Dawakhanas has an emergency doctor available.
To test how people respond to these Dawakhanas, the health department decided to open them in the evening hours.
A variety of free health services are provided by these centers, including outpatient consultations, medicines, basic laboratory diagnosis, antenatal and postnatal care, and screening for non-communicable diseases. Dawa khana doctors also provide specialist consultation via Telemedicine at Basti Dawakhanas.
Locals say Basti Dawakhana is very helpful to them, especially those who cannot afford private hospitals. In addition to providing good treatment with the necessary medications, the doctors have addressed a variety of health issues here.
