Sarabha Nagar Dispensary Revitalized as Ayushman Arogya Kendra
The government dispensary at Sarabha Nagar has undergone a remarkable transformation after being converted into an Ayushman Arogya Kendra (AAK), now serving as a well-maintained and efficiently functioning healthcare facility.
A visit to the centre reveals clean surroundings, a dedicated staff, and doctors actively attending to patients. Just a few years ago, the dispensary struggled with limited resources, relying solely on a single Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) to manage its operations.
Increased Patient Footfall and Expanded Services
Currently, the AAK receives 70-80 patients daily, becoming a crucial healthcare resource for residents of Sarabha Nagar, BRS Nagar, and nearby areas. Situated within Power Colony, the centre also offers weekly immunisation services, benefiting the local community.
The revamped team at the dispensary now includes:
✅ A doctor
✅ A pharmacist
✅ A clinical assistant
✅ An Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM)
✅ An ASHA worker
What was once a cramped and deteriorating structure has been modernized with improved infrastructure and better facilities.
Staff and Patient Testimonials
ANM Daljit Kaur, who has been serving at the dispensary for years, expressed her happiness over the improvements.
“This place has seen many ups and downs, but finally, everything is in place. Not only has the staff expanded, but the infrastructure has also been upgraded. There was a time when snakes would enter the backyard, but that’s no longer a concern,” she shared.
Dr. Saksham Kapoor, the doctor in charge, explained that before the dispensary became an AAK, most visitors were parents bringing their children for vaccinations. Now, with enhanced services, patients come for a variety of ailments, and the facility sees a consistent footfall of 70-80 patients per day. The availability of regular medicine supplies and free diagnostic tests has further improved healthcare access.
Community Response
Local residents have welcomed the transformation. Purshotam, a visitor who came with his wife, praised the services provided by the AAK.
“For minor ailments like fever, cough, and cold, my family and I prefer coming here for consultations. It’s reassuring to know that all tests and treatments are free of charge,” he said.
With improved infrastructure, expanded medical services, and dedicated healthcare professionals, the Ayushman Arogya Kendra at Sarabha Nagar has become a model healthcare centre, significantly benefiting the local population.
