Rajnath Singh inaugurates first tri-services medical camp in Lakshadweep

New Delhi, January 13 (UNI) Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday stated that the government is committed to providing quality healthcare to every citizen of the country, especially those living in remote and island territories. Singh was virtually addressing the gathering during the inauguration of week-long Joint Services Multi-Speciality Camp organised by the Indian Navy at the Indira Gandhi Hospital, Kavaratti in Lakshadweep, the first time in the islands.
Describing the initiative as a shining example of the Indian Navy’s significant role in nation-building and humanitarian assistance beyond maritime security, the defence minister said that through the camp, the Tri-Services team of the Armed Forces Medical Services has brought advanced diagnostic facilities and specialist care directly to the people’s doorsteps, including services such as planned surgeries and cataract operations.
Noting that a comprehensive screening, early diagnosis, timely medical advice, medical interventions, and free distribution of medicines would contribute to long-term health benefits for the island community, Singh said, “We’re working with the resolve of a Swasth Bharat. We have not only promoted physical infrastructure in the health sector but have also taken care of the people’s well-being through initiatives like Ayushman Bharat and Jan Aushadhi Kendras.”
