NAMSANG, Jan 31: The health sub-centre in Namsang village in Tirap district has been upgraded to a health & wellness centre (HWC) under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, also known as the PM’s Jan Arogya Yojana.
Inaugurating the HWC on Friday, DoTCL Minister Wangki Lowang said the centre would be further upgraded to a PHC in due course of time.
