KATHUA, Dec 8: Intending to boost the significance of good health and broadening the facilities of primary healthcare services to people of Jasrota constituency, BJP MLA of the constituency, Rajiv Jasrotia today laid foundation stone of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy) health and wellness center under Ayushman Bharat costing Rs 92 lakhs at Balhaar Thakur Pura Panchayat Chandwan in presence of ex Sarpanch Yogesh Singh, ex Sarpanch Bhawna Jasrotia, ex Sarpanch Kirat Singh, Pawan , Raghubir Singh, Amit Prajapati, Updesh Singh .
Speaking on the occasion, Jasrotia emphasized the importance of the AYUSH system of treatment and wellness as it has a holistic approach that treats patients and encourages them to opt for healthy living by teaching Yoga and other natural health practices. He underscored that right to health for all without discrimination is Modi Government’s commitment. PM Modi Government has ensured that every citizen in need of medical attention is treated with respect and dignity, he added. “A more happier and productive society is our prime objective. I believe public health is fundamental to stable socio-economic growth. Prudent policy followed by robust implementation helped us to fill gaps in health care capacities and eradicate inequality between rich and poor”, he said.
Jasrotia claimed that while many developed nations are mulling over universal health coverage, PM Modi has ensured equal access to health services without financial hardship. For decades together, people of J&K faced persistent neglect of healthcare. There was no Government Health Insurance Scheme. PM established a resilient health system and provided health assurance to all, he further added.
The State health agency that is implementing ABPMJAY SEHAT has achieved many milestones since the launch of initiative and lakhs of people have been provided with Ayushman cards and lakhs of beneficiaries have been provided free and cashless treatments under the scheme, he said. Leave no one behind is not just a mantra for Union Government but it is also our commitment to the people. Public well-being is always at the center of our policies and our spending on health programmes has risen as compared to many developed and bigger states, Jasrotia said.
