On Tuesday, CM Suvendu Adhikari interacted with some beneficiaries virtually from Swasthya Bhawan
“We launched the two health schemes on Aug 16. So far 19,700 individuals have benefited. 452 beneficiaries from outside the state got their treatment done under Ayushman Bharat in Odisha, Maharashtra and Jharkhand hospitals. All the other patients I could connect with, including those from Kalimpong, Nadia, South 24 Parganas, East Midnapore and Hooghly thanked us,” Adhikari told the media.
This is a big achievement for us,” said Adhikari. Many are yet to get their cards and the process is on. The few patients with whom the CM interacted virtually included Gopal Mondal of Sonarpur who got his heart surgery done at Desun Hospital and Farhan Ali of Birbhum who also underwent surgery in a nursing home. ‘I spoke to Asgar Ali, father of four-year-old Farhan. Post the surgery the boy is doing well. His father blessed our PM Naredra Modi. Ours is a govt which does not discriminate against citizens on the basis of religion or caste.
