Agartala, Jun 01: In a significant step towards strengthening healthcare delivery in remote areas, 10 ASHA Facilitators in Tripura’s Dhalai district were provided with e-cycles on Monday. The distribution programme was organised by the District Health and Family Welfare Society at the conference hall of Ambassa Primary Health Centre.
The e-cycles were provided with support from Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited (TSECL). The initiative aims to ease transportation challenges faced by ASHA Facilitators and improve access to healthcare services in far-flung and hilly regions of the district.

She added that the initiative would help ensure faster and better healthcare services for people living in remote areas.
The programme concluded with the formal handover of e-cycles to the 10 ASHA Facilitators, who expressed happiness and gratitude for the support.
