Dantewada, 6 April . The Government and the Administration have been committed to providing better healthcare facilities to common people. They have always tried to ensure the provision of healthcare facilities to people living in interior regions. Jageshwari, a resident of the Dantewada district, is suffering from a rare disease called Ichthyosis Histrix (Tree Man syndrome). For Jageshwari’s treatment, at the initiative of the District Administration, she has been sent to Medical College Raipur. It is noteworthy that Jageshwari had come forward with this rare disease 3 years ago in the health camp of Pahurnar village, where she was sent to the Medical College Raipur on the initiative of the District Administration.
