indicators of the city. Sh. Anurag Agarwal, IAS, Health cum Home Secretary

Chandigarh will be the first city in India to achieve that status.

doctor, a pharmacist, ANM and a helper. The other six AMU centers are running
in other villages and are yielding good results in providing health services to
the people of villages at their doorsteps. This helps to decrease OPD load on
major hospitals of the city as well.
