Good step by the government. But I hope the focus is on ensuring these facilities are actually functional with proper staff and equipment, not just on inauguration ceremonies. We've seen many projects announced but delays in making them fully operational for the public.

As someone who has family in Uttarakhand, improving healthcare infrastructure in the hills is crucial. The AIIMS satellite centre in Kichha will be a game-changer for emergency care in the Terai region.

Ayushman Bharat is a lifesaver for poor families. 61 lakh cards in Uttarakhand alone shows its reach. Combining this with new hospitals means quality healthcare is becoming more accessible and affordable. Good work.

Hope the new medical colleges will also mean more doctors choose to serve in our state. Brain drain from Uttarakhand is a real issue. Building infrastructure is step one, retaining talent is the next big challenge.
