Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that in the last eight years, his government has tried to develop the healthcare sector of the country in a holistic manner.
He was speaking after the inauguration of A M Naik Healthcare Complex and Nirali Hospital here built by a trust headed by group chairman of engineering conglomerate Larsen and Toubro’s A M Naik.
“We have tried to develop the healthcare sector of the country in a holistic way,” Modi said.
“My experience as the chief minister (of Gujarat) helped me in shaping the healthcare policy of the country. I had introduced the Mukhyamantri Amrutam scheme, which covered the medical expenses of up to Rs 2 lakh of the poor people in the state. Later on, at the central level, we introduced the Ayushman Bharat scheme for Rs 5 lakh coverage of healthcare expenses of the poor people in the country,” the prime minister added.
