Assam CM seeks Nadda’s guidance on healthcare expansion, medical tourism roadmap
New Delhi, June 1: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday met Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare Jagat Prakash Nadda here and sought his guidance for implementing a series of ambitious healthcare initiatives aimed at transforming Assam into a major healthcare and medical tourism hub.
In a post on X following the meeting, Sarma expressed gratitude to Nadda for his contribution to strengthening the BJP in Assam during his tenure as the party’s national president and for his role in the state’s electoral successes.
“Hon’ble Union Minister Shri J.P. Nadda ji has been instrumental in strengthening BJP in Assam during his tenure as the Rashtriya Adhyaksh and has played a key role in Assam elections,” the Chief Minister said.
Sarma thanked Nadda for his efforts and discussed the state government’s plans to expand healthcare infrastructure and services.
“Today, as I met him in Delhi, I thanked him for his efforts and sought his guidance to implement the ambitious health sector schemes which we are undertaking in the State — from medical colleges to proton beam therapy to doctor intake etc.— and build Assam as a preferred hub of medical tourism,” he said.
Assam is pursuing an extensive healthcare expansion programme that includes the establishment of new medical colleges, enhancement of specialised treatment facilities and increasing the intake capacity of medical professionals.
The state government has also been focusing on positioning Assam as a destination for advanced healthcare services in the Northeast and neighbouring regions, with medical tourism emerging as a key component of its long-term strategy.
