DOTI, DECEMBER 20

Chief Minister of Sudurpaschim Trilochan Bhatta has said there would not be any shortage of funds required for the health sector and for saving people's lives.

He said this while inaugurating the Provincial Biomedical at Rajpur of Dipayal Silgadhi Municipality today.

Chief Minister Bhatta said adequate budget had been allocated to the health sector so that people would get health care facilities at their doorsteps. "Our goal is that no citizen should lose life due to lack of medical treatment and in this connection we will not let the situation of budget crunch arise in the health sector," he said.

The Health Directorate under the Ministry of Social Development of the provincial government has set up the Biomedical at Rajpur. It is said this is the first biomedical facility of its kind to be established outside of the federal capital.

Thousands of people here will benefit with the establishment of the health facility, said Gunaraj Awasthi, Director of Sudurpaschim Health Directorate in Rajpur of Dipayal. The directorate said the human resources required for operating the biomedical would be managed soon.
