Singrauli got medical college as Nadda and CM Yadav inaugurated it virtually from Jabalpur

Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav virtually inaugurated the Singrauli Medical College, built at a cost of Rs 288 crore, from Jabalpur. Addressing the function, Nadda said the Madhya Pradesh government was doing excellent work in the health sector. He said two medical colleges were being inaugurated that day.

Singrauli received a medical college

He added that agreements had been signed to set up medical colleges at Dhar, Betul, Panna and Katni on the PPP model. He said Madhya Pradesh had got a new picture in health, and that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership a new health policy had been introduced that was based on prevention as well as treatment. Under it, innovations such as a smart chatbot and Ayushman Sakhi had been introduced, and under the health mission everyone above 30 years of age was being screened and covered through the Vay Vandana card, which would benefit the person at the last mile.

Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav said Madhya Pradesh had once again received a big gift in the form of a medical college. He said that under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Health Minister Nadda, the state government held a leading position in health. He said that to save lives and provide treatment to even the poorest, the state government had provided an air ambulance facility, and that under the Rahgir scheme it also gave a reward of Rs 25,000 to those who took injured people to hospital, so that accident victims got timely treatment and their lives were saved. Along with ambulances, arrangements had also been made for hearse vehicles. He said all health-related schemes were being implemented fully, and beneficiaries were getting their benefits.

Deputy Chief Minister and Public Health and Medical Education Minister Rajendra Shukla also spoke about the implementation of the state government’s health schemes. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and Chief Minister Yadav, health facilities were continuously reaching the person standing at the last end. He said maternal mortality had come down, and that through a campaign for treating serious patients, Ayushman cards had been made for eligible people, whose benefits were being extended to all sections of society.
