New Delhi, April 15: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that the country will receive a record number of new doctors in the next ten years. His remarks came after he used video conferencing to inaugurate the KK Patel Super Speciality Hospital in Gujarat’s Bhuj district.
“Hospital in Bhuj will make good quality healthcare accessible to people at affordable price. Two decades ago, there were only nine medical colleges in Gujarat with only 1,100 seats. Today we have more than 36 medical colleges with 6,000 seats,” said PM Modi, addressing the inaugural ceremony.
