The World Bank (WB) team comprising Programme Leader (Human Development) Jorge Coarasa, Senior Operations Officer Kari Hurt and health specialist Mohini Kak met Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday.
Explaining the government’s efforts in improving health services in the State, Mr. Naidu suggested the visiting team to provide expertise to fill the gaps in medical and health services.
