PM Modi Launches Major Health Initiatives Valued at Over ₹12,850 Crore: In a significant boost to India’s healthcare sector, Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently unveiled a series of ambitious health projects worth over ₹12,850 crore. This initiative aims to enhance healthcare access and infrastructure across the country, ensuring better services for millions of citizens.
Key Projects Announced
During the announcement, PM Modi highlighted several key initiatives designed to improve public health services. These projects focus on strengthening existing healthcare facilities, expanding telemedicine services, and enhancing the availability of essential medical supplies.
One of the central components of this plan is the establishment of new hospitals in underserved areas, which will provide critical care and reduce the burden on urban healthcare systems. Additionally, the government is prioritizing digital health initiatives to facilitate remote consultations and health monitoring.
