Doda: In light of the ongoing Population Mobilization fortnight, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of Doda, Dr. Om Kumar, on Monday held a virtual review meeting with all in-charges of health institutions in the district. During the meeting, the CMO emphasized the need for community-level sensitization and awareness about various family planning services.

To enhance accessibility to family planning facilities, the CMO instructed health staff to offer consultations and ensure services are available to all eligible beneficiaries. He urged all health functionaries to mobilize ASHAs and other health workers to conduct various activities during this ongoing phase.
