Guwahati: The Union Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia emphasised the current Covid-19 immunisation campaign on Friday amid concerns that the disease may be on the rise in the nation.
The Union Minister stated during a news conference on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government’s efforts to create a “Healthy India” on Friday that 220 crore doses of vaccination have been given out as of this Monday.
“The focus of our government is to transform health care into holistic health care. Following the PM’s vision of ‘One Nation One Health’, we collectively handled Covid. 220 crore doses of vaccine have been administered till this Monday,” Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said.
Shedding a light on the Narendra Modi-led government’s steps in providing medical facilities in far-flung areas, the Civil Aviation Minister said, “drones are being used for the delivery of blood, vaccines, and medicines in remote areas. In 2014 there were only 6 All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and today we have 22 AIIMS in the country.” “MBBS seats have been increased by 90 percent,” he added.
