Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda distributes appointment letters to over 1200 nursing officers –

Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda today distributed appointment letters to over 1200 nursing officers in the National Capital, along with Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
 
Addressing the event, Mr Nadda said that India’s health policy today has moved on from curative treatment to preventive treatment. He remarked that health set-up of the nation today has become inclusive, focusing not just on treatment but also on rehabilitation.
 
Mr Nadda pointed out that despite being allotted 1750 crore rupees 4 years ago, under the PM Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission, the previous Delhi government failed to utilize a single penny.
 
He expressed confidence that the current government will successfully utilize the allotted fund to set up over 1100 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, before it expires in March next year.
 
The Minister said that the Arogya Mandirs made from these funds will help boost the help infrastructure of the city with free screenings to be provided to adults over the age of 30 soon. Mr Nadda said that this will support in the fight against Cancer, Diabetes and Hypertension.
 
During the occasion, Mr Nadda and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta also flagged off the Ayushman Bharat Registration Vans. These vans will provide registration for the Ayushman Bharat at the doorsteps of residents of the national capital.
