Since this is a first-of-its-kind program in the health sector, the common man does not have enough information about it and its benefits, some problems are also coming up at the administrative level, but it is a matter of satisfaction that the problems that come up from time to time are gradually improving by removing the difficulties and obstacles, he said.
