“The state government is diligently working to transform Tripura into a medical hub. Numerous private hospitals are expressing keen interest in establishing their facilities within the state. Our focus is on enhancing the healthcare system. We have also established trauma care centers in three districts and also the state government has introduced super specialized medical services in seven departments of GB Pant, substantially reducing the need for patient referrals outside the state. Additionally, we will also open 100 health sub-centers across Tripura as part of our ongoing efforts to bolster health infrastructure,” Dr. Saha said
Addressing the role of clubs, the Chief Minister emphasized their pivotal role in addressing a multitude of issues.
“Clubs have a vital responsibility to maintain a neutral stance, ensuring the best support for people’s concerns. Individuals approach clubs with high expectations of problem-solving. Much like the government’s commitment to serving people, club committees must also work impartially to resolve issues”, he said.
The blood donation event saw the presence of dignitaries such as Dipak Majumder, Mayor of AMC, and Mina Rani Sarkar, the MLA of Badharghat Assembly Constituency, among others.
