I'm sure that the institutions like HN Reliance, which is also doing many activities for poor, would also participate in our endeavor to reach the last man of society and I am sure that all of you, in your own way, in your own capacity, would try to reach those people who need us more," CM Fadnavis said.

This is such a welcome initiative! Rural healthcare has been neglected for too long. Hope they implement this properly with good infrastructure and trained staff. 🤞

Great vision but execution is key. Previous governments made similar promises that never materialized. Will be watching closely to see actual results.

As someone from a small village near Nashik, this gives me hope! My grandmother had to travel 4 hours to get basic tests done. More medical colleges are definitely needed.

While I appreciate the intent, I'm concerned about the focus on quantity over quality. 10 new medical colleges is impressive, but are we ensuring proper faculty and training standards?

Technology can be a gamechanger here - telemedicine, mobile clinics, AI diagnostics. Hope they incorporate these modern solutions rather than just building brick-and-mortar facilities.
