They can also get guidance on nutrition during the infection period. For non-COVID patients, Doctor Consultation and prescription would be provided as a part of the ‘Saarthi’ initiative. 

 

Beneficiaries from the trucking community seeking guidance on Vaccination, will be provided with counselling to clear their doubts regarding the vaccine, help with registration on COWIN/ Arogya Setu portal, scheduling of appointment at the nearest government hospital, help with downloading of vaccination certificate and post vaccination medical assistance, if required.
