Dr Mandaviya lauded the transformative impact of Prime Minister Modi’s multifaceted focus on healthcare, employment, education, and connectivity in the Northeast. Historically plagued by insufficient facilities, according to Dr Mandaviya, the region saw significant migration to other parts of India. However, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, this trend has been reversed, ushering in a phase of rapid development.

The ceremony witnessed the inauguration and foundation stone laying of various Healthcare Infrastructure Projects, benefitting Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura. Notably, foundation stones for crucial healthcare projects in Dimapur and Mon districts were also launched during this occasion.

NIPER Guwahati, spread across 60 acres of land with a total project cost of Rs 157 crore, stands as a testament to the government’s dedication to a progressive Northeast, said Dr Mandaviya.

Significant investments and future prospects

According to Dr Mandaviya, the government’s proactive approach has resulted in an allocation of funds totaling Rs 404.22 crore for the dedication, foundation stone laying, and inauguration of health infrastructure units across the Northeast region. Notable investments include Rs 127.34 crore for the dedication of five essential buildings in RIPANS, Aizawl, and Rs 150 crore earmarked for the dedication of the Super Specialty Block at Assam Medical College.

The Union Minister also highlighted ongoing efforts to strengthen India’s dominance in the pharmaceutical sector and reduce dependence on imported APIs and medical devices.
