This training is a part of the MoU between ACCESS Health International and the Telangana Road Transport Corporation that was signed on the 16th of June this year to strengthen the capacity of TSRTC health volunteers through comprehensive training focused on non-communicable diseases, empowering them to serve as the primary point of contact for healthcare support at each depot level.
