Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated two major health facilities to the nation, comprising Amrita Hospital at Faridabad and the Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Mohali. Both these facilities would cater to the North Indian populace, specifically to cancer patients as well as many other ailments. The Amrita Hospital in Faridabad will be managed by Mata Amritanandamayi Math. The super-specialty hospital will be equipped with 2600 beds. The hospital, which is being constructed at an estimated cost of around Rs. 6000 crore, will provide state-of-the-art healthcare facilities to the people of Faridabad and the entire NCR region.

When PM Modi arrived in Mohali at the Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, the crowd chanted Jai Shri Ram. The “Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital & Research Centre” was dedicated to the nation by Prime Minister Modi in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, and Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar District (Mohali). The hospital has been built at a cost of over Rs. 660 crore by Tata Memorial Centre, an aided institute under the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India.

The Cancer Hospital is a tertiary care hospital with a 300-bed capacity and is equipped with modern facilities to treat all types of cancers using every available treatment modality like surgery, radiotherapy, and medical oncology like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and bone marrow transplant.

The hospital will function like a “hub” of cancer care and treatment in the region, with the 100-bed hospital in Sangrur functioning as its “spoke”.

In Punjab, not only Malwa but Doaba and Majha are also in the grip of cancer. Earlier, the number of cancer patients was nominal in Majha and Doaba, whereas now about 60 patients are being found behind one lakh. PM Modi said that as much work has been done in the field of health in India in the last 7-8 years, as much as it has not been done in the last 70 years. Today, in the field of health, the health facilities of the country are being improved by working together on not one, not two, but six fronts to facilitate health for the poorest of the poor. 

PM Modi further added that there are such arrangements made for the treatment of 1.5 lakh new patients. Due to overcrowding in PGI, patients and their families were facing problems. Since AIIMS has been built in Bilaspur, whoever is nearer will now be able to go there.

The PM said that to make India developed, it is equally important to develop its health services. When the people of India get modern hospitals for treatment, with modern facilities, then they will get well sooner, and their energy will be channelled in the right direction. PM Modi said that Punjab is the holy land of freedom fighters and revolutionaries. Punjab kept this tradition alive during the Tricolor campaign at Har Ghar. He thanked the youth of Punjab for their contributions to the tricolour campaign’s success.

CM Bhagwant Mann honoured Prime Minister Narendra Modi by giving him the model of Shri Darbar Sahib. In his speech from the stage, CM Bhagwant Mann listed the achievements of his government. During this, he also reiterated his government’s commitment to the people of Punjab. Referring to Modi’s visit on January 5, the CM said that we are sad that you had to return at that time. After this, he also made a gesture to the PM to fill Punjab’s bag.
