The minister said concerted attempts at controlling the communicable diseases through various national healthcare programmes and interventions have brought down the mortality and morbidity arising from such illness.



Lamenting the shortage of doctors, Nadda said his ministry was tackling the issue by rapidly raising the capacity for training undergraduates and postgraduates in the existing medical colleges and also by establishing new medical colleges.

"Existing premier medical colleges are also being upgraded with top class infrastructure and facilities to achieve this," Nadda said, adding in the past three years, 86 medical and 12 dental colleges were set up. PTI AP Indian Oil launches new cryocan
