Naqvi said that the positive resolve of the people and the strong will of the government at the time of this crisis was a result of India moving fast on the foot of self-reliance in the health sector.

Today the number of dedicated corona hospitals has increased to 1054.

The National Digital Health Mission has been launched to give health ID to every Indian. It is the world’s largest health care system. This is a revolutionary step in the field of health. Every test of people, every disease, which doctor gave which medicine, when given, what were the reports, all this information would be contained in this one health ID.

More than 45 thousand seats have been increased in MBBS and MD. More than 1.5 lakhs in villages across the country “Wellness Center” Have been started.
