It is noteworthy that the Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel's Dai-Didi Clinic Scheme is being operated by the Urban Administration and Development Department of Chhattisgarh Government. Under this scheme, a team of well trained women doctors and medical staff arrives in the Dai-Didi Clinic's mobile medical unit and provides free treatment to the needy women and girls for various diseases.
