Rates of nearly
2000 medicines to become cheaper by 90%: JP Nadda
Jabalpur: While addressing the
foundation stone laying ceremony of the proposed Super Specialty Block of
Jabalpur Medical College, Union Health Minister JP Nadda said, that the prices
of approximately 2000 medicines will be slashed up to 90%, making it lesser
than the maximum retail price (MRP).
This announcement was made under the
Amrut Scheme. He said such retail stores would also be opened in Madhya
Pradesh.
Nadda said the central government would
provide all necessary assistance to the Madhya Pradesh government to improve
the state's health care facilities.
The Minister also said the construction
of the Super Specialty block, being built at a cost of Rs 150 crore, would
result in provision of quality medical facilities in the state.
He also announced setting up of a State
Cancer Institute at a cost of Rs 120 crore, a trauma centre and the
establishment of Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) dispensary here.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj
Singh Chouhan, who was also present on the occasion, said that after the
construction of the super specialty block, the people of Jabalpur and nearby
districts would not have to go outside the state for treatment.
"To provide better health services to the people is the
biggest responsibility of any government. Up to Rs 2 lakh has been entrusted to
collectors under the Rajya Bimari Sahayata Scheme," Chouhan said.
