Gandhinagar (Gujarat) [India], April 20 (ANI): Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel mentioned that the government aims to build sub-district hospitals in remote villages to provide timely medical care to people, according to an official statement from the Gujarat Chief Minister’s Office (CMO).
The Bhiloda Community Health Centre in Aravalli district has been upgraded to a 125-bed sub-district hospital with modern facilities for 43 crores, the statement said.
The CM addressed a gathering as he unveiled a series of development projects worth 282 crores in the Aravalli district, including the upgraded hospital. During the ceremony in Modasa, he inaugurated the newly constructed iconic busport, built at a cost of 15 crores, as well as roads under construction worth 140 crores. He also launched Samaras Kanya and Kumar Chhatralay, primary healthcare centres, municipal corporation development projects, smart classrooms in schools, and various other initiatives.
He stated that, under the leadership and vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the journey of holistic development has extended to the most remote villages.
