Our Aim-One medical college hospital in each district: PM Modi
Junagadh: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said his government wants to set up a medical college and hospital in every district of the country and plans to have 1.5 lakh "wellness centres" to serve rural areas.
"The country's health sector has undergone a major overhaul in the last few years with various schemes introduced by the Central government," Modi said, after inaugurating a 300-bed Gujarat Medical and Education Research Society Hospital at Junagadh.
"We have already announced (in this year's budget) that we will have one big hospital with an affiliated medical college for every three parliamentary constituencies. Our aim is to have a big hospital and medical college per parliamentary constituency, and then we will take it to each district," Modi said.
"In Gujarat (as the then chief minister), I had started the work of setting up a big hospital and affiliated medical college in each district, which is now nearing completion," the Prime Minister said. He said that these are not only helping patients, but also those who want to study medicine.
