NAGARGAO, VALPOI: Health Minister Vishwajit Rane on Wednesday said that the state’s Cancer Hospital being developed in association with Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai will be ready before the year 2027.
Addressing a public meeting at Nagargao village in his Valpoi Assembly constituency, Rane said that the aim of Pramod Sawant-led government is to take the health facilities to the doorstep of the people.
“Goa’s latest cancer care hospital, being developed in association with Tata Memorial Centre, will be ready before 2027. “It will be a landmark in healthcare services in the state,” the minister said.
On the health front, Rane said the government has initiated measures to take healthcare closer to the people, especially in rural areas. “We want to take health care to the doorsteps of the people.
“Places like Kodal and Satre (rural most villages in his constituency) will soon have model sub-health centres. We have introduced diagnostic facilities at the doorstep. Those suffering from heart attacks will also get timely treatment,” he said.
He said that various legislations enacted by the BJP-led government under Chief Minister Pramod Sawant are aimed at improving the lives of common people, while emphasising that only the BJP can ensure development and employment opportunities for the state’s youth.
Rane said that government has taken “historic steps” in the last few years, which have provided a sense of security to the people.
“We are working amongst the people, taking forward the ideology of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The legislations enacted by the government led by Dr Pramod Sawant aim to bring in a difference in the lives of common people,” he said.
On employment, Rane said the government has already started providing opportunities and would ensure jobs for educated youth in each constituency. “Today we have educated unemployed youth, and we want to find a way for them. That can be done only by the BJP government,” he added.
