The Member of Parliament for East Tripura Parliamentary constituency Kriti Debi Debbarman demanded the Centre for establishment of AIMS-like Medical College & Hospital in Tripura Tribal Areas and Autonomous District Council (TTAADC).
In her letter to the Union Minister of Health & Family Welfare department J P Nadda, the MP stated, “The residents of TTAADC are currently facing a critical gap in advanced healthcare services and medical education in the area, and hence, they require an AIIMS-like Medical College Hospital to address the issue.”
“The State Government of Tripura had previously submitted a proposal under the centrally sponsored scheme (CSS) to your ministry. This proposal includes the establishment of a 100 bedded new medical college hospital attached to the Dhalai district hospital,” the letter reads.
MP Kriti Debi Debbarman further stated in her letter that the local district administration has already identified suitable land for this project. Specifically, there are 10 acres of land adjacent to the existing district hospital in Dhalai district at Ambassa and 14 acres in the adjacent Lalchari area, she added.
She stated, “Given the urgency and importance of this project, I kindly request that your ministry prioritize and expedite the review and approval process. The establishment of this AIIMS-like Medical College Hospital would serve as a critical milestone in bridging the healthcare gap in our tribal areas and providing much-needed medical services and educational opportunities.”
Meanwhile, the founder of TIPRA Motha and MP Kriti Debi Debbarman’s brother Pradyot Bikram Manikya DebBarma stated, “Our MP has raised the demand for an AIIMS in the State and that too in an area which is affected by most hardship and disease .This will not only benefit our state but can also cater to people from Mizoram and Silchar.”
“In our forthcoming talks on the Tiprasa Accord we too have demanded the same. If we work as a Team we can achieve more. Now awaiting the response from the Centre,” his statement in social media reads.
