Despite infrastructure limitations in some facilities, the staff’s dedication to improving hygiene, infection control, and patient care garnered recognition. The Community Health Centre at Palvancha received the State-Level Eco-Friendly Award worth ₹5 lakh and a Commendation Award. The Area Hospitals at Bhadrachalam, Manuguru, Yellandu, and Aswaraopeta each earned a Commendation Award. Manuguru and Aswaraopeta were first-time recipients at the Kayakalp assessment. District Coordinator of Hospital Services (DCHS) Dr. G. Ravi Babu highlighted the significance of this achievement, noting that infrastructure constraints should not hinder quality improvement when there is collective commitment to patient care.",
