NEW DELHI: Terming the goal of universal health coverage as a priority for the Government, President Ram Nath Kovind on Monday said that the implementation of the National Health Mission critically depended on commitment of the medical fraternity.
”The goal of universal health coverage is a priority for our Government. The implementation of the National Health Mission critically depends on your commitment. This needs effective governance at the community, village and district levels,” the President said while addressing General Duty Medical Officers (GDMOs) of the 2nd Foundation Course, conducted by the National Institute of Health and Family Welfare, who called on him at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Addressing the officers, the President said that while while health may be a core concern for the medical fraternity, they have an equally important role to play in the socio-economic progress of the country. Our country is making rapid economic progress. Health and socio-economic indicators must gallop along with it.
”While health may be a core concern for you, you have an equally important role to play in the socio-economic progress of the country. Several key Government initiatives such as Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao and Swachh Bharat need your support and service,”the President said. (AGENCIES)
