Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that he would urge maximum discussion and participation on three things in healthcare sector, one of them being advances in tele-medicine.

“Can we think of new models that make tele-medicine popular on a larger scale” the prime minister said.

During the last six years, the Central government gave top-most priority and impetus to reforms in health and medical education, PM Modi said on Monday.

The prime minister outlined the four broad pillars of healthcare development in the country and pushed for ‘Make in India’ cause in the health sector.

“The initial gains in this make me optimistic. Our domestic manufacturers have started production of PPEs and have supplied about 1 crore PPEs to Covid warriors,” he said.
