Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that private hospitals equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities are also necessary to face future challenges in the health sector.
It is a matter of joy that today such a huge hospital has been launched in Gwalior. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was addressing the inaugural ceremony of the 100-bedded Devraj Hospital (Devraj Institute of Medical Sciences) in Gwalior on Wednesday evening.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has termed hospitals as ‘Arogya Mandir’.
It is a matter of joy that a farmer’s family has established a hospital i.e. Arogya Mandir in memory of their son in Gwalior.
He congratulated and extended his best wishes to the founder of Devraj Hospital, Shri Karan Singh Kirar, and his family.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the Madhya Pradesh government also respects and honors the family of Karan Singh for this noble initiative.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that when Corona was creating havoc all over the world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expanded health services using India’s resources and intellectual capabilities.
Modi got all the citizens of India vaccinated free of cost against Corona. Also, by sending Corona vaccine across the world, the principle of “live and let live” was implemented.
The Chief Minister expressed confidence that the hospital in Gwalior, the Tapobhoomi of Rishi Galav, the Sadhnasthali of Tansen, the Balidansthali of Veerangana Lakshmibai and Karmabhoomi of Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia, will make an important contribution in the treatment of poor patients.
Filling the void in the family with service is commendable – Assembly Speaker Shri Tomar
Assembly Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar said that on this Navratri, a huge hospital is being added to the health sector in Gwalior.
He said that the untimely demise of any person in the family creates a huge void.
There are very few people who fill this void by serving the needy.
Late Shri Shitala Sahay had done this work by establishing a prestigious cancer hospital after the death of his son due to cancer.
Similarly, Karan Singh Kirar established such a hospital after the loss of his son Devraj Singh Kirar.
He prayed to God that the hospital should progress gradually so that the residents of Gwalior area can have better treatment facilities.
Assembly Speaker Tomar said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav are working dedicatedly for the expansion of health services.
He said that in 2003, medical colleges existed only in Gwalior, Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, and Rewa in Madhya Pradesh.
Now there are 14 government medical colleges in the state. Apart from this, a private medical college has also been established.
Private sector participation is also necessary for the enhancement of health services: Deputy Chief Minister Shri Shukla
Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla said that health services will be better and adequate only when the private sector operates on an equal footing with the government.
Giving the example of Delhi, Nagpur and Mumbai, he said that these metropolises have been established as medical hubs only with the participation of the private sector.
Shukla said that it is a matter of happiness that a 100-bed ultramodern hospital has been established in Gwalior and this hospital will be ready with one thousand beds and a medical college in future.
The state government is also pleased that quality health services will be available at affordable rates in this hospital.
He congratulated and wished the Devraj Hospital management for taking a step in the field of serving suffering humanity.
Concession for treatment of economically weaker families is a commendable initiative: MP Shri Sharma
MP and State President V.D. Sharma said that it is a matter of happiness that treatment facility will be available at Devraj Hospital at a consultation fee of only Rs 50.
With this, patients from economically weaker families will also be able to get treatment in a good hospital.
He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given concrete shape to a revolutionary scheme like Ayushman Bharat for economically weaker families.
We hope that in accordance with the Prime Minister Modi’s vision, Devraj Hospital will also play an important role in the treatment of poor patients.
