Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha on Tuesday said that medical students’, who are staying outside of the state, started returning due to Super-Specialty Services introduced by the state government in the state’s health department.
Chief Minister Dr. Saha said this while inaugurating a Voluntary Blood Donation Camp organized by the health workers of AGMC and GBP Hospitals on Tuesday.
“Blood has no religious barriers. People of any faith can receive blood from individuals of other faiths. There is no distinction between male and female blood. Blood can be donated by anyone between 18 and 60 years of age and up to 65 years if they are in good health. We are all united. Through blood donation, a spiritual connection is forged between people,” he said.
“Investors are seeking various forms of assistance, including land. A positive sentiment about Tripura has spread across the country. The message that work can be conducted in a stable environment in Tripura has been conveyed. Many people are coming from outside to invest not only in medical colleges but also in other sectors,” said Dr Saha.
He reiterated that the state government has given special emphasis to strengthen the infrastructure in the development of the healthcare system.
“Even children from our state who pursued their medical studies outside the state have started returning due to the availability of super-specialty services here, in response to the government's call,” Dr. Saha added.
