Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Infosys Foundation Vishram Sadan at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Jhajjar campus in Delhi today. He inaugurated it through video conferencing. Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya was also present in this program. On this occasion, PM Modi praised the Chief Minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar.
On this occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that today's day has been recorded in history. India has crossed the 100 crore vaccine dose mark. To counter the biggest epidemic in 100 years, the country now has a strong protective shield of 100 crore vaccine doses. This achievement belongs to India and every citizen of India.
He said that today when we are emphasizing setting up at least one medical college in every district of the country, the role of the private sector is also very important in this. When the patient gets free treatment under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, then his service is done. It is this service, due to which our government has taken steps to reduce the prices of about 400 cancer medicines.
On this occasion, PM Narendra Modi also praised Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar. He said that I have known Manohar Lal Ji for a long time, but as CM, his talent has come to the fore. He said that Manohar Lal Ji often does good experiments. Sometimes the central government also feels that we should also do such experiments. The foundation laid by Manohar Lal Khattar Ji with long thinking is going to be very effective for the development of Haryana.
PM Modi said that we have set a target of setting up medical colleges in every district. He said that cancer patients will get the special facilities in Jhajjar AIIMS. This will facilitate the people of many states including Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, UP, and Uttarakhand. On this occasion, PM Modi praised Infosys Foundation chairperson Sudha Murthy. He said that I appreciate her for his cooperation in this Vishram Sadan.
