The employees of PHC Bhadwan showed admirable dedication towards their work as the Dhangarwadi village is home to just 125 people. Despite the small population of the village, healthcare providers decided to pass through difficult stretches of road that were filled with water. More often than not, it is the citizens who have to travel on foot to reach the nearest hospital in order to receive treatment.
