“Our hona’ble Chief Minister is leading the health department. There is no other state in the country where the CM is handling the health department port folio which is the most important sector of a state government. The new government has really brought revolution in the healthcare sector by making medical treatment free in the Government as well as tertiary hospitals also. In all government hospitals, any sort of treatment has been made free to the people. We have set up 107 fair price medicine shops which has shown a way to the country and was highly appreciated by the Centre. The State government is giving the land, electricity, water to the hospital premises while the private sector is providing medicinal facilities at reasonable prices. In the RSBY, we are leading the country and built up 33 CCUs at a distance of 50 kms and 17 HDUs and this has gone up to the level of sub divisions which has been done in the last four years.”
