Nation Will Get New Doctors In Record Numbers: PM Modi Dedicates First Charitable Super Speciality Hospital In Kutch

Dedicating the KK Patel Super Speciality Hospital, PM Modi stated that Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Mission will enhance the facilities for the patients.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday dedicated the KK Patel Super Speciality Hospital at Bhuj in Gujarat to the nation via video conferencing. 

Addressing the event, PM Modi said: "People of Bhuj affected by the earthquake are now scripting a new fate with Kutch's first super speciality hospital. This 200-bedded hospital will provide people with affordable & quality medical facilities."

He mentioned that two decades ago Gujarat had nine medical colleges, now it has one AIIMS and over three dozen medical colleges.

The former Gujarat chief minister stressed, "better health facilities are not just limited to the treatment of diseases, they promote social justice."

"When a poor person gets access to subsidised good treatment, his faith in the system is strengthened," he added.

Speaking about the KK Patel Super Speciality Hospital, PM Modi said: "This 200-bed super speciality hospital is going to provide affordable treatment to lakhs of people. It is going to guarantee the best treatment to our soldiers and families of paramilitary forces."

He called for constructing 75 lakes per district on the 75th anniversary of India's independence, saying  Kutch district requires them as it is rain deficient.

On the health front, the Prime Minister stated that Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Mission will enhance the facilities for the patients.

"Modern and critical healthcare infrastructure is being extended to the district and block level through the Ayushman Health Infrastructure Mission," he added.

"Be it the goal of building medical colleges in every district of the country or efforts to make medical education accessible to all, the country is going to get a record number of new doctors in the coming 10 years," PM Modi highlighted.
