PM Modi believes In the next ten years India will have a record number of new doctors
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday, April 15th, 2022, that the country will get a record number of physicians in the next ten years. PM Modi delivered this comment through video conferencing when launching the KK Patel Super Speciality Hospital in Gujarat’s Bhuj district.
“This hospital in Bhuj will make excellent quality healthcare available to everyone at a cheap price,” PM Modi stated during the opening ceremony of the hospital with state-of-the-art healthcare facilities. Gujarat has nine medical institutions with just 1100 seats two decades ago. We now have around 36 medical colleges with over 6000 seats.”
“Whether it is the objective of creating medical schools in every region of the country or attempts to make medical education available to all, the country is going to have a record number of new physicians in the coming ten years,” he added.
“Putting behind the tragedy wrought by the earthquake, the residents of Bhuj and Kutch are now forging the region’s new fate with their hard work,” he continued. There are several contemporary medical treatments available in this area nowadays. Bhuj is receiving a sophisticated, super-specialty hospital today in this episode.”
“Good healthcare infrastructure is not simply restricted to the treatment of the sickness,” PM Modi added in his speech, “they inspire social justice.” When a disadvantaged person has access to the least expensive and most effective care, his faith in the system is enhanced.”
“If indeed the poor don’t have to worry about the price of treatment,” PM Modi continued, “then he will try harder to get out of poverty.” This has been the driving force behind all of the healthcare reforms that have been undertaken in recent years. The Ayushman Bharat Yojana and the Jan Aushadhi Yojana assist poor and middle-class families who would otherwise have spent lakhs of crores on medical costs.
Shri Kutchi Leva Patel Samaj of Bhuj established the KK Patel Supr Speciality Hospital, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi. Interventional Cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Nephrology, Urology, Nuclear Medicine, Neuro Surgery, Joint Replacement, and other supportive services such as laboratory, radiology, and others are available at the 200-bed super-specialty hospital.
In India, the number of private and government medical colleges has exploded in recent years. The number of private medical institutions in India has risen from 209 in 2014 to 260 in 2019, according to a survey by World Education Services. The number of government medical colleges in India climbed from 176 in 2014 to 272 in 2019, according to research published at www.went.wes.org.
The costs of attending a private doctorate are frequently expensive. As a result, only students from specific socioeconomic strata will be able to finance medical school. The Modi administration has prioritized the establishment of more government medical colleges to provide cheap medical education to talented individuals from all socioeconomic backgrounds. The government’s medical schools and hospitals also ensure that disadvantaged patients are treated at a reasonable cost.
Navi Mumbai Civic Body Bridges the Healthcare Gap with Free Screenings and Follow-up Care Across Local Centers.
The Drive
In a major boost to public health, 1,292 citizens were screened during a free cancer detection drive conducted across various health centers by the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC).
The initiative focused on early detection for common cancers including oral, breast, and cervical cancers giving local residents access to crucial preventive care close to home. Medical teams set up diagnostic stations at Urban Primary Health Centers (UPHCs) to ensure seamless access, particularly for working-class and middle-income families.
Beyond basic checkups, civic health teams provided guidance on early warning signs, lifestyle risks, and the importance of routine health monitoring. Citizens identified with potential symptoms received direct referrals to municipal hospitals for further testing and subsidized follow-up treatment.
Community health drives play an essential role in saving lives by catching illnesses before they progress. By making preventive care accessible to all, NMMC continues to strengthen healthcare infrastructure across the city.
Community comes together in Kukshet Village to honor Maharashtrian heritage with folk games, music, and local camaraderie.
Celebrating Tradition
Highlighting the rich cultural fabric of the region, women across Nerul gathered at the Shri Vitthal Rukmini Temple in Kukshet Village to celebrate Nag Panchami. Organized under the guidance of former Mayor Sujata Patil and local representative Suraj Patil, the annual festival brought Ward No. 23 alive with traditional music, energetic games, and community spirit.
The temple courtyard transformed into a vibrant hub of Maharashtrian heritage as over 100 local women participated in age-old folk traditions that are increasingly rare in modern urban life. Attendees filled the air with traditional Nag Panchami and Mangalagaur songs while joining hands for lively rounds of Zimma and Phugdi. The day featured classic games including Kombda, Katwatkhana, blowing into copper pots (Kalshi Phunkne), and dancing with decorated earthen pots.
Beyond the cultural performances, the gathering highlighted strong neighborhood ties. Local residents expressed deep appreciation for the safe, supportive environment fostered in the area, noting that community initiatives like these strengthen mutual trust and preserve local culture for younger generations. With smiling faces, traditional rhythms, and shared prayers for prosperity, this year’s Nag Panchami reaffirmed the power of community traditions in keeping local heritage vibrant and strong.

The Hospital
Access to quality healthcare just got a major boost for local families. Meta Multispeciality Hospital officially opened its doors in Ghansoli Sector 4, promising state-of-the-art medical technology alongside a deeply human approach to community care.
The facility was inaugurated by Forest Minister and Palghar Guardian Minister Ganesh Naik, who toured the premises to inspect its emergency wards, OPD facilities, and advanced diagnostic machinery. Speaking to attendees, Naik praised the hospital’s leadership for prioritizing affordable, high-quality treatment for middle-class households.
What sets the hospital apart, however, is its landmark social welfare initiative announced during the opening by community leader Sagar Chougule and hospital administrator Dr. Swarna Shelke:
- Free Maternity Care for Girl Child Deliveries: To celebrate and encourage the birth of female children, the hospital will waive all delivery charges for mothers giving birth to baby girls.
- Free OPD Services for Seniors: Outpatient consultations will be entirely free for senior citizens aged 65 and above.
“Healthcare shouldn’t feel like an unbearable financial burden,” said Dr. Shelke. “Our primary goal is to bring modern medical infrastructure within reach of every everyday citizen.”
With monsoon-related illnesses on the rise, the team also plans to host free community health camps to catch seasonal infections early. By blending modern medicine with genuine community compassion, the new hospital aims to build a healthier, safer Navi Mumbai.
