Chhattisgarh Rapidly Emerging as a Major Medical Hub in Central India: Chief Minister Shri Sai
Expansion of Advanced Healthcare Facilities to Reduce Dependence on Other States for Treatment of Serious Diseases
Modern Medicity Being Developed Across 200 Acres in Nava Raipur to Promote Medical Tourism and Employment
Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai attended the inauguration ceremony of the 125-bed Super Speciality Prathamesh Hospital in Devpuri, Raipur, on Sunday. The state-of-the-art hospital is built on about one acre of land. He inaugurated the hospital by cutting the ribbon and reviewed its advanced medical facilities. He extended his best wishes to the hospital management, doctors, and the entire team, expressing confidence that the hospital would play an important role in further strengthening the state’s healthcare services.
He stated that healthy citizens are the strongest foundation of a developed and prosperous Chhattisgarh. Providing accessible, affordable, quality healthcare to every citizen is among the state government’s top priorities.
With this commitment, the state is continuously strengthening healthcare infrastructure, expanding advanced medical facilities, and extending better healthcare services to remote areas. As a result, Chhattisgarh is rapidly emerging as a major medical hub in Central India.
Better and Advanced Medical Treatment Facilities Should Be Available Within Chhattisgarh
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that when patients and their families have to travel to other states to treat serious illnesses, they face not only a financial burden but also several practical difficulties. The state government is working to ensure residents can access as many specialised and super speciality medical services as possible within Chhattisgarh. He said expanding modern hospitals and specialised medical services in Raipur and other parts of the state would steadily reduce dependence on other states for treating serious diseases. These facilities would benefit not only Chhattisgarh residents but also patients from neighbouring states.
The Chief Minister said that coordinated efforts by government and private institutions are helping develop a strong healthcare ecosystem in the state. Modern hospitals will give people access to quality medical treatment while creating new jobs for doctors, nursing staff, paramedical personnel, and young people.
Strong Healthcare Protection Under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s Leadership
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that access to healthcare services and their quality have expanded significantly across the country under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership.
The Ayushman Bharat Yojana has provided financial support to poor and needy families for treating serious illnesses. Many eligible families in Chhattisgarh are also receiving free medical treatment under the scheme, and the double-engine government is working to ensure that financial difficulties do not prevent them from getting medical treatment. The expansion of healthcare facilities has not been limited to major cities. Healthcare infrastructure is being strengthened at every level, from district hospitals to primary and community health centres. Special attention is also being given to improving access to medical services in remote forest regions and tribal areas.
The Chief Minister said that the government’s approach is clear. Every citizen has an equal right to quality healthcare, whether they live in the state capital or a remote forest region.
Nava Raipur Medicity to Give New Identity to Chhattisgarh’s Healthcare Sector
Chief Minister Shri Sai said the state is developing a modern Medicity across 200 acres in Nava Raipur to establish Chhattisgarh as a major centre for healthcare services and medical investment. The project will take the state’s healthcare sector to new heights in the coming years.
He said the Medicity would offer extensive opportunities to expand modern and super speciality healthcare services. It would also promote medical tourism and create new investment and employment opportunities in the medical sector.
The Chief Minister said that the continuous expansion of modern medical institutions in Raipur and Nava Raipur is strengthening Chhattisgarh’s identity as a major healthcare destination.
The government’s objective is to ensure that people from Chhattisgarh no longer need to travel outside the state for better treatment of serious and complex illnesses. Instead, people from other states should come to Chhattisgarh for quality medical treatment.
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that establishing modern healthcare institutions reflects the state’s continued expansion of medical facilities. He urged the hospital management to work in patients’ interest by giving the highest priority to service, compassion, and quality.
Expansion of Healthcare Infrastructure And Creating Employment Opportunities for Human Resource
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that investment in the healthcare sector is not limited to hospitals and medical equipment. It also creates employment opportunities for doctors, nurses, technicians, paramedical staff and people working in various healthcare-related fields. He said the expansion of modern medical institutions in Chhattisgarh is creating new opportunities for the state’s youth. The state government is working to ensure that healthcare infrastructure development is matched by training the needed human resources, enabling young people to access better employment opportunities within the state.
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that a healthy Chhattisgarh will pave the way for a developed Chhattisgarh. The state government is working with full commitment to make healthcare services modern, accessible and people-oriented.
The government is determined to ensure that quality healthcare reaches the last person in the state and that every family can be confident it will receive better treatment when needed.
Union Minister of State for Housing and Urban Affairs Shri Tokhan Sahu said good health is the foundation of a happy, prosperous life. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Central and State Governments are continuously working to expand healthcare services. He said that establishing modern medical institutions such as Prathamesh Hospital would provide better treatment facilities to Chhattisgarh’s people.
He congratulated the hospital management and the entire team and extended his best wishes.
Deputy Chief Minister Shri Arun Sao said that Chhattisgarh is making continuous progress in healthcare services under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai. Alongside strengthening government healthcare institutions, the private sector is also expanding modern medical facilities. The inauguration of Prathamesh Hospital will enable people across the state to benefit from super speciality healthcare services. He extended his best wishes to the hospital management for providing quality healthcare with a spirit of service and compassion.
Health Minister Shri Shyam Bihari Jaiswal, MLA Shri Motilal Sahu, Dr Rajiv Sahu and Dr Sarika Sahu of Prathamesh Hospital Group, along with other public representatives, doctors and distinguished citizens, were present on the occasion.
