> Title: Need to set up an AIIMS type hospital at Nandigram in Purva Medinipur, West Bengal.
SHRI SUVENDU ADHIKARI (TAMLUK): The medical treatment is one of the five basic needs of human beings to survive. Today it is not an exaggeration to say that the medical science bestows a happy and healthy life. But, the healthy and hygienic condition can also achieve this. In Nagdigram of Purba Medinipur, West Bengal, we find the people there in a very helpless and sad situation without having a good hospital. A patient requiring any major operation or suffering from any critical diseases such as cardiac ailments or brain ailments etc. has to travel a long distance to Kolkata. As a result, the condition of the patients gets deteriorated on the way. Nandigram is blessed with hospitals. But, considering the scope of treatment and in respect of today’s concept of a good hospital, these are nothing more than primary health centres.
So, this is my humble request to Hon’ble Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India to please consider to set up an AIIMS-like hospital in Nandigram under my electoral constituency for ameliorating its worsening health situation.
