Ranchi: Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren announced on Wednesday that a new Medical College will be set up in Ranchi where world class facilities will be provided. The Chief Minister said, “It is very important to increase the number of doctors.” The Chief Minister said the Central Government should give responsibility to the State Government by making better coordination for providing facilities in the health sector. He added, “Looking at the geographical structure of Jharkhand, the state government will be able to give a real direction to the health facilities by better assessing the needs here.”
The state government will decide where there should be a medical college and where it should not, how it should be run. Hemant Soren said as the pressure is increasing in Ranchi for facilities, work is being done for this through various institutions, but the government is not running with this confidence. We have decided that another medical college will be built here so that people can get facilities. Chief Minister Soren said during inauguration of various programs including start of 206 ambulances and distribution of appointment letters to 38 newly appointed dentists organized by the Department of Health, Medical Education and Family Welfare at Namkum Auditorium.
Operation of a large number of ambulances, a new dimension to simplify and improve health facilities through a new app and provide health services to the public by joining with various organizations and appointment of new dentists as well as doctors doing excellent work. And the hospitals have been honoured with this platform. The government has been working day and night for many years to see how better health services can be made available to the people.
The health sector is one area where the challenge is immense.At present, there are challenges all over the world regarding the health of the people, in such a situation, can you imagine how important the health facility for a backward state like Jharkhand is. No one had seen Corona, in the blink of an eye it engulfed the whole world. Jharkhand was also not untouched by this. I believe that health facilities should be available equally and from a perspective to every class, rich and poor.
It is the duty of the state government to see everyone with one eye. The Chief Minister said Along with awareness, awareness and sensitivity for better health care, it is very important to pay attention to how the entire system works. Hemant Soren said Most of the people in Jharkhand live in villages. Here the farmer is the laborer. We should also decide how to provide ambulance facilities to the people of the village, how to check their health, for this a time has to be fixed on which day the ambulance vehicle is camping at which place in the village. So that the villagers can take advantage of health facilities by being present there after completing their work.
An action plan should be made in this direction and health facilities should be provided. The Chief Minister said that medicines expire in hospitals. If people do not get the medicine, then it will expire. The need is that medicines should be made available to the needy on time. This is the reason why it has been decided to open medicine shops at the panchayat level, and efforts will be made to restore the facility of pharmacy shops not only in panchayats but also in every village. So that educated youth can be linked with self-employment.
Jharkhand is the first state in the country where the state government is providing air ambulance at a cheap rate for the common citizens. This facility will be provided not only to elite people but also to BPL families, if they need an air ambulance. The Chief Minister said the health facilities in the state will be strengthened in such a way that people from other states do not go to cities of other states for better treatment from here, but people from other states come to Jharkhand for better treatment.
On this occasion, Hemant Soren gave hearty congratulations and best wishes to the newly appointed dentists present on his behalf. The Chief Minister urged all the newly appointed doctors to discharge their responsibilities with the spirit of public service. Wherever you are posted, try to give your 100 percent. You are an integral part of the state government. The state government takes care of your every facility, you also take care of the needy people.
