More Medical Colleges to come up in Manipur districts

N. Biren lauded the Prime Minister for putting much emphasis on the health sector, adding that the latter had taken a decision to use vernacular language as the medium of teaching and learning in the MBBS course. Such an initiative will help the students to learn more thoroughly about the subjects as one can learn more easily while being taught in our mother tongue.

Recalling the hardships faced by the people of the state during the COVID19 pandemic due to a lack of medical facilities, and shortages of oxygen cylinders and supply, the Chief Minister praised officials, doctors and other medical staff for their tireless efforts and contribution in successfully fighting the viral infection. He also said the contributions made by some private hospitals in saving the lives of people during the pandemic can never be forgotten.

N. Biren also appealed to the doctors and other medical staff to maintain professionalism and ethics while performing their duties, as their services are very crucial for providing better healthcare facilities to the people.
