Plans are afoot to expand the treatment facilities from present 938 diseases recognised under the scheme by adding a few more, Deputy Chief Minister and Health Minister T Rajaiah said. Speaking to presspersons here on Wednesday, he said: “We will cover more diseases under Aarogyasri for the benefit of poor. Talks are on to bring dengue under Aarogyasri. Besides, arrangements will be made to ensure that small operations are conducted at PHCs.” For this purpose, each PHC would be provided four doctors and infrastructure upgraded, he said.
