Affordable and Quality Health Services are Our Government’s Priority: Sai

Raipur, October 25
Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai said that ensuring affordable and quality health services is the state government’s highest priority. Today, he participated in the national conference on Critical Care, ‘CritiCon Raipur-2025,’ organized at a private hotel in Nava Raipur, the capital.
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that CritiCon Raipur-2025 is a platform for innovation and excellence in medical science, especially in the field of Critical Care. It provides an opportunity to bring experts and researchers from across the country and abroad together to chart new directions in this field. Critical Care Medicine is the backbone of life-saving, giving new life to patients in severe conditions. He stated that the state government is paying special attention to the expansion of hospitals, critical care units, and medical facilities in both rural and urban areas.
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that a Medicity and a Pharma Hub are being constructed in Nava Raipur Atal Nagar, and new hospitals are continuously being established in other cities of the state as well. He said that these steps will prove to be a milestone for Chhattisgarh in the field of healthcare.
Chief Minister Shri Sai congratulated the entire team of Ramkrishna CARE Group for this national event, stating that Chhattisgarh is emerging as a center of medical excellence across the country.
Assembly Speaker Dr. Raman Singh said that it is a matter of pride for Raipur to host a conference on a subject as crucial as Critical Care. The deliberations by experts during this two-day conference will certainly bring forth excellent innovations that will prove to be a boon for human health treatment. Dr. Singh said that today, new possibilities for treatment are opening up with the use of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Technology in the medical field. This new technology is writing the new story of a New India. Appreciating the role of doctors, he said that when there is an emergency at home and the patient is rushed to the hospital on time, the role of Critical Care doctors in alleviating the fear of the family is paramount. He said that the need of the hour is to establish Critical Care Units in every district and every large hospital. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Central Government, and under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, the State Government is continuously working in this direction. Free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh through the Ayushman Yojana is a great relief for the common people.
During the program, doctors from the country, abroad, and the state who have provided excellent services in the health sector were also honored on the stage.
The event was attended by Dr. Sandeep Dave, Director of Ramkrishna CARE Hospital, Shri Varun Khanna, CEO of CARE Group, and over 1,300 doctors from across the country, abroad, and the state.
