Lakhimpur Kheri: Crumbling Health Centers Abandon Villagers, Pregnant Women Suffer

• Community Sub-Health Centers in Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, built at high cost, are now in severe disrepair.
• The Fazal Nagar Grant Gram Panchayat center, constructed 10 years ago, is a ruin with cracked walls and broken roof, making it unusable.
• Villagers are forced to travel 10-12 km for primary treatment and up to 50 km for serious cases, risking time, money, and lives.
• Despite numerous complaints from residents like Santosh Kumar and Imran, no concrete action has been taken to address the issue.
• Subhash Verma, Superintendent of CHC Bijua, acknowledges the problem and states a new building process will be initiated soon.

Why It Matters: Dilapidated sub-health centers in Lakhimpur Kheri leave villagers without basic healthcare, forcing long travels.
