Empowering Health: President Murmu's Vision for a Self-Reliant India

President Droupadi Murmu emphasized on Friday the vital connection between a healthy population and a self-reliant India during the inauguration of the Nand Kishor Somani Oncology Block at the Ramakrishna Mission Sevashram.

Murmu highlighted cancer as a major health challenge, stressing the importance of early detection and treatment. She acknowledged the economic constraints families often face, hindering access to necessary care. Underlining government efforts, she cited Ayushman Bharat and the establishment of new AIIMS and medical colleges as steps towards better healthcare infrastructure, particularly in rural areas.

Praising telemedicine and e-health services, Murmu underscored their role in providing remote consultations. She lauded the Ramakrishna Mission for integrating modern science with compassion, contributing significantly to society's welfare, and marked the occasion as a new chapter of hope for high-quality medical care accessibility.
