Agartala, April 03: Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha on Thursday laid foundation stone of 50-bed Urban Community Health Center here at Agartala and said that the present government is working diligently to improve health infrastructure and services in the state.
Addressing the gathering here in a function at Agartala Junction Gate, the Chief Minister said that the government has taken up multipronged initiatives to provide better health services to the citizens. He said that said that the construction work of the Urban Community Health Centre will be completed within the next 6 months.
He said that as it is located in the heart of Agartala city, common citizens of the city, business people, people coming to Agartala from other parts and far away for various purposes here in the city, workers can take advantage of health services in this hospital.
This will decline the rush of patients in the Agartala GBP Hospital, Dr Saha said, adding that other major cities of the country especially Mumbai have such hospitals.
This community health centre will have OPD services from 8 am to 8 pm. Departments such as Medicine, Obstetrics, Dentistry etc. will have facilities to avail services. The Chief Minister expressed hope that the new project work will also generate employment opportunities.
