PM Modi extends greetings on World Health Day

On the occasion of World Health Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that the government’s focus on affordable healthcare has ensured significant savings for the poor and middle class while the Ayush network is being strengthened to further boost the overall wellness of the people.

In a series of tweets on ‘World Health Day’, PM Modi said, “आरोग्यं परमं भाग्यं स्वास्थ्यं सर्वार्थसाधनम्॥ Greetings on World Health Day. May everyone be blessed with good health and wellness. Today is also a day to express gratitude to all those associated with the health sector. It is their hardwork that has kept our planet protected.”

He said that the government’s focus is on ensuring good quality and affordable healthcare for our citizens.

“The Government of India is working tirelessly to augment India’s health infrastructure. The focus is on ensuring good quality and affordable healthcare for our citizens. It makes every Indian proud that our nation is home to the world’s largest healthcare scheme, Ayushman Bharat,” Modi said.

Highlighting how affordable healthcare has ensured significant savings for the impoverished, he said: “I feel very happy when I interact with beneficiaries of schemes such as ‘PM Jan Aushadhi‘. Our focus on affordable healthcare has ensured significant savings for the poor and middle class. At the same time, we are strengthening our Ayush network to further boost overall wellness.”

Addressing medical education in the country, Modi added: “In the last eight years, the medical education sector has undergone rapid transformations. Several new medical colleges have come up. Our government’s efforts to enable the study of medicine in local languages will give wings to the aspirations of countless youngsters.”

To mark World Health Day, Ayush Ministry held a grand event ‘Yoga Utsav‘ at Red Fort on the occasion. Besides being World Health Day, Thursday is also the 75th day of the countdown to International Day of Yoga (IDY).

Ayush Ministry has chalked out a 100-day countdown programme for the 8th International Day of Yoga wherein 100 organizations are promoting yoga in 100 places.

The Ministry hopes to inspire a ‘Mass Movement for Health and Wellbeing’ through yoga in the 75-day countdown to International Day of Yoga-2022.
