A registration drive for CMHIS, an initiative of the 26th Aonglenden A/C NDPP, was launched at Community Hall, Marepkong ward on 25 January.

Nungsangmeren Longkumer, president of the 26 Aonglenden Assembly Constituency of the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP), informed that the seven units under the AC – Dilong ward, Sangtemla ward, Arkong ward, Merepkong ward, Ungma village, Kubza village and Settsü village – will undergo the registration drive for the beneficiaries with a target of 2,000 in its first phase.

Longkumer said not many people can afford the medical expenses and acknowledged the scheme. “Since free health care policies aim to reduce the financial barriers that people may experience when trying to access health services, this initiative was taken into consideration by the office for the Citizens of 26 Aonglenden AC to provide accessibility of the existing facilities.”
