IN the Red Zone of Chhattisgarh's Bastar, besides the ongoing battle against the Maoists, the state has meticulously embarked upon a successful action plan, transforming healthcare services.

- EJAZ KAISER @ Raipur

Over 130 institutions based in the region across the seven Maoist-affected districts of Bastar got National Quality Certification over the last year and a half.

Between January 1, 2024, and June 16, 2025, as many as 130 health institutions in the Bastar division have been certified under the National Quality Assurance Standards (NQAS).

These include one district hospital, 16 Primary Health Centres (PHCs), and 113 Sub-Health Centres (SHCs).
