PNS, Dharamgarh (Kalahandi)
Former Railway Minister and incumbent Kalahandi MP Bhakta Charan Das expressed his heartfelt gratitude to UPA chairman Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Union Health Minister Gulam Nabi Azad for the proposed super specialty hospital at Nuapada, centrally located in the backward Koraput, Balangir and Kalahandi (KBK) region.
The Kalahandi MP hailed the illustrious endeavour of Health Minister Azad on such a noble step in view of the dismal health service in Kalahandi and Nuapada districts in particular and the KBK region in general.
Recalling the shocking deaths of over 50 diarrhoea patients in the region in August-September 2009, Bhakta said that he had urged Health Minister Azad for opening a medical college and hospital by the Central Government in his letter on December 11, 2009 and Azad had responded on January 18, 2010 intimating that he would consider to set up the Centrally-sponsored medical college in the undivided Kalahandi district.
As the proposed hospital would chiefly cater to the healthcare needs of the rural populace and especially the SC and ST patients in the region, the Kalahandi MP also conveyed thanks of the KBK people to the UPA Government.
