The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi dedicated Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital & Research Centre to the Nation at Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, Mohali today. Governor of Punjab, Shri Banwarilal Purohit, Chief Minister Shri Bhagwant Mann, Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh were among those present on the occasion.

Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said that today’s event reflects the improved healthcare facilities of the country. He said that the hospital will provide service to the people of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. He thanked the people of Punjab for their enthusiastic participation in the Har Ghar Tiranga Campaign.

Referring to his proclamation that he made from the ramparts of the Red Fort about making India a developed nation, the Prime Minister said “To make India developed, it is equally important to develop its health services.” The Prime Minister said that when the people of India will get modern hospitals filled with modern facilities for treatment, then they will get well sooner, and their energy will be channelled in the right direction. The Prime Minister reiterated the government’s commitment to create facilities for cancer treatment. He noted that Tata Memorial Centre is now equipped for treatment of 1.5 lakh new patients every year. He said that the new hospital and the AIIMS at Bilaspur will reduce the burden on PGI Chandigarh and provide much relief to the patients and their families.

The Prime Minister remarked that a good healthcare system doesn't just mean building four walls. He emphasised that the healthcare system of any country becomes strong only when it gives solutions in every way, and supports it step by step. The Prime Minister further added that holistic healthcare has been placed among the top priorities in the country in the last eight years.

The Prime Minister noted that today, the health facilities of the country are being improved by working together on six fronts. Elaborating on all six fronts, the Prime Minister mentioned the first front is the promotion of preventive healthcare, the second front is to open small and modern hospitals in villages, the third front is to open medical colleges and big medical research institutes in cities, fourth front is to increase the number of doctors and paramedical staff across the country, fifth front is to provide cheap medicines, cheap equipment to the patients, and the sixth front is to reduce the difficulties faced by patients by using technology.

Talking about preventive approach, the Prime Minister said that due to the Jal Jeevan Mission, the number of patients suffering from waterborne diseases has gone down considerably. Similarly, cleanliness, Yoga, fitness trends, Poshan Abhiyan, Cooking gas etc. are bringing down the number of patients. On the second front, quality testing facilities have been created and more than 1.5 lakh Health and wellness centres are being established. Out of which 1.25 have already been established. In Punjab about 3000 centers are functioning. All over the country, more than 22 crore people have been screened for cancer out of which 60 lakh screenings took place in Punjab.

The Prime Minister further added that once the disease is detected, then the need for such advanced hospitals arises where serious ailments can be treated properly. The Prime Minister highlighted that the central government is working on the target of at least one medical college in every district of the country. The Ayushman Bharat scheme under health infrastructure mission is creating modern health facilities at the district level at the cost of 64 thousand crore rupees, he added. The Prime Minister reiterated that at a time, there were only 7 AIIMS in the country but that number has gone up to 21 now. The government has approved about 40 specialized cancer institutes across the country, out of which many hospitals have already started providing services.

The Prime Minister emphasised that it is important to build a hospital and it is equally important to have a sufficient number of good doctors, and other paramedics as well. The Prime Minister reiterated that this work is being carried out on mission mode in the country, today. “Before 2014, there were less than 400 medical colleges in the country. That is, less than 400 medical colleges in 70 years. At the same time, in the last 8 years, more than 200 new medical colleges have been built in the country.” the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister pointed out that the government has also recognized more than 5 lakh AYUSH doctors as allopathic doctors and it has helped in improving the doctor-patient ratio in India. Ayushman Bharat has provided free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh to the poor and as a result, 3.5 crore patients have got their treatment so far. The Prime Minister also added that out of these 3.5 crore patients, many were cancer patients. The Ayushman Bharat Scheme has saved about 40 thousand crore rupees of the patients. He informed that more than 500 medicines for cancer treatment witnessed upto 90 per cent reduction in price, saving upto one thousand crore rupees.

The Prime Minister said that for the first time, modern technology was being incorporated in the health sector on such a large scale. While concluding his address the Prime Minister added that the Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Mission is ensuring every patient gets quality healthcare facilities, on time, with minimum hassle. The Prime Minister highlighted the anticipated launch of Made in India 5G services will revolutionize the remote healthcare sector. “This will reduce the compulsion of the patients from poor families of the village to visit the big hospitals time and again”, he said. The Prime Minister also emphasised on the need to help patients and families in fighting the depression caused by cancer. He said, “As a progressive society, it is also our responsibility to bring change and openness in our thinking about mental health. Then only the right solution will be found for this problem.”

 

Background

In an endeavour to provide world-class Cancer care to the residents of Punjab and neighbouring states & UTs, the Prime Minister has dedicated ‘Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital & Research Centre’ to the Nation at Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar District, Mohali. ​​The Hospital has been built at the cost of over Rs. 660 Crore by Tata Memorial Centre, an aided institute under the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India.

भारत को विकसित बनाने के लिए उसकी स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं का भी विकसित होना उतना ही जरूरी है।

जब भारत के लोगों को इलाज के लिए आधुनिक अस्पताल मिलेंगे, आधुनिक सुविधाएं मिलेंगीं, तो वो और जल्दी स्वस्थ होंगे, उनकी ऊर्जा सही दिशा में लगेगी: PM @narendramodi

अच्छे हेल्थकेयर सिस्टम का मतलब सिर्फ चार दीवारें बनाना नहीं होता।

किसी भी देश का हेल्थकेयर सिस्टम तभी मजबूत होता है, जब वो हर तरह से समाधान दे, कदम-कदम पर उसका साथ दे।

इसलिए बीते आठ वर्षों में देश में होलिस्टिक हेल्थकेयर को सर्वोच्च प्राथमिकताओं में रखा गया है: PM @narendramodi

आज एक नहीं, दो नहीं, छह मोर्चों पर एक साथ काम करके देश की स्वास्थ्य सुविधाओं को सुधारा जा रहा है।

पहला मोर्चा है, प्रिवेंटिव हेल्थकेयर को बढ़ावा देने का।

दूसरा मोर्चा है, गांव-गांव में छोटे और आधुनिक अस्पताल खोलने का: PM

तीसरा मोर्चा है- शहरों में मेडिकल कॉलेज और मेडिकल रीसर्च वाले बड़े संस्थान खोलने का

चौथा मोर्चा है- देशभर में डॉक्टरों और पैरामेडिकल स्टाफ की संख्या बढ़ाने का: PM @narendramodi

पांचवा मोर्चा है- मरीजों को सस्ती दवाइयां, सस्ते उपकरण उपलब्ध कराने का।

और छठा मोर्चा है- टेक्नोलॉजी का इस्तेमाल करके मरीजों को होने वाली मुश्किलें कम करने का: PM @narendramodi

अस्पताल बनाना जितना ज़रूरी है, उतना ही ज़रूरी पर्याप्त संख्या में अच्छे डॉक्टरों का होना, दूसरे पैरामेडिक्स का उपलब्ध होना भी है।

इसके लिए भी आज देश में मिशन मोड पर काम किया जा रहा है: PM

2014 से पहले देश में 400 से भी कम मेडिकल कॉलेज थे।

यानि 70 साल में 400 से भी कम मेडिकल कॉलेज।

वहीं बीते 8 साल में 200 से ज्यादा नए मेडिकल कॉलेज देश में बनाए गए हैं: PM

हेल्थ सेक्टर में आधुनिक टेक्नॉलॉजी का भी पहली बार इतनी बड़ी स्केल पर समावेश किया जा रहा है।

आयुष्मान भारत डिजिटल हेल्थ मिशन ये सुनिश्चित कर रहा है कि हर मरीज़ को क्वालिटी स्वास्थ्य सुविधाएं मिले, समय पर मिलें, उसे कम से कम परेशानी हो: PM @narendramodi

कैंसर के कारण जो depression की स्थितियां बनती हैं, उनसे लड़ने में भी हमें मरीज़ों की, परिवारों की मदद करनी है।

एक प्रोग्रेसिव समाज के तौर पर ये हमारी भी जिम्मेदारी है कि हम मेंटल हेल्थ को लेकर अपनी सोच में बदलाव और खुलापन लाएं। तभी इस समस्या का सही समाधान निकलेगा: PM
