In a move to strengthen the public healthcare system, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced that beginning August 15, free treatment for all diseases will be made available at one government hospital in each district headquarters across the state.

Speaking during a visit to the villages of Kishanpura and Girdarpur, CM Saini said these designated hospitals will be modernised and fully equipped, and will also offer services under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. He also visited Ban, Behlolpur, and Jalkheri villages, interacting with local residents.

To streamline patient referrals, the government will establish committees at these hospitals to evaluate cases requiring transfer to higher medical centres such as PGI Chandigarh or other tertiary care institutions.
