**New Namma Clinic Opens in Ballari, Bringing Healthcare Closer to Home**
*Ballari, India – July 24, 2025* – Residents of Karimaremmana Colony in Ballari are celebrating the opening of a new Namma Clinic, inaugurated today by Ballari City MLA Nara Bharath Reddy. The clinic aims to provide accessible and quality primary healthcare services to the urban population, with a focus on serving economically weaker sections of the community.
“People should not have to travel long distances for basic health care,” Mr. Reddy stated at the inauguration. “These clinics will provide free and accessible health care to local residents, especially those from low-income backgrounds.” He also announced plans for a ₹5 crore hospital to be built in the colony, further boosting healthcare infrastructure.
The Namma Clinic is part of a broader initiative to establish 20 such facilities across Ballari district. District Health and Family Welfare Officer Yalla Ramesh Babu confirmed that, with the addition of the new clinic in Karimaremmana Colony, along with others in Srirampura Colony and the APMC Yard area which were also inaugurated today, a total of 20 clinics will serve the population in 2024-2025. “Each clinic will serve a population of 10,000 to 20,000 and will be staffed by a doctor, a nurse, a lab technician, and support staff,” he explained.
Local residents expressed their gratitude for the new clinic. “Earlier, we had to visit health centers far away for even minor health issues,” said Chandrakala, a resident of Karimaremmana Colony. “Having this clinic in our locality is a big relief.”
The initiative is a collaborative effort between the district administration, the Zilla Panchayat, the District Health and Family Welfare Department, and the Ballari City Corporation.
