The initiative aims to provide quality healthcare services closer to the people, with JAKs serving as grassroots-level institutions in the public health system. Currently, there are 5,416 JAKs in the state, each served by one Juniour Public Health Nurse, Junior Health Inspector, and Mid-level Service Provider. The government plans to make 100 essential drugs available free of cost through JAKs and direct hospitals to make local purchases when drug supplies are short.",
