The Chief Minister said that this is a humble effort by the state government to transform Punjab into a healthy and disease free by imparting quality Health services. Bhagwant Mann envisioned that the residents of the state will no longer have to spend money in hospitals for getting treatment and diagnostic facilities. He said that patients can avail the medical services by stepping into the clinics or can avail facility of online appointment.
The Chief Minister said that rather the people will get quality healthcare services free of cost that too at places near their homes. He said that all the successive governments have hitherto paid no attention towards providing healthcare services to people due to which common man had to suffer a lot.
