Correct option is B
Answer: (b) BP apparatus
Sol.
The Vande Mataram Scheme is a health initiative in India aimed at strengthening the primary healthcare system and providing support to the healthcare providers. Under this scheme, the district medical officer provides essential medical tools and items to the enrolled doctors to help them serve their communities better.
· (a) Iron and Folic acid: These are commonly provided to pregnant women and children to prevent deficiencies, not typically to doctors under this scheme.
· (b) BP apparatus: Correct. BP (blood pressure) apparatus is a standard medical tool that can be provided to doctors under the Vande Mataram Scheme to monitor and manage hypertension.
· (c) Weighing machine: While a weighing machine is important for medical practices, it is less likely to be specifically provided to doctors under this scheme compared to more essential tools like a BP apparatus.
· (d) Glucometer: Glucometers are used to monitor blood sugar levels, but their provision to doctors is typically for diabetic management and may not be a direct part of the Vande Mataram Scheme.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is (b) BP apparatus, as it is the most likely item to be provided to enrolled doctors under the scheme.
