ITANAGAR, Dec 6: Healthy and hygienic society is the only mantra to ensure accelerated development of a State, asserted State Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu after inaugurating the newly procured state-of-the-art medicinal equipment like MRI and computerized X-ray machines at Ramakrishna Mission Hospital here today.
“A simple but warm smile from a medical practitioner and the nurses can ease out a patient’s illness to a great extent,” he advised.
Apart from behavioural approach, the Chief Minister called on the hospital authority to issue special directives to the patients and their attendants to avoid smoking and chewing tobacco in the hospital premises.
Lauding the Ramakrishna Mission Hospital for rendering philanthropic health services to the people, Khandu expressed hope that with the procurement of the advanced equipments, the Hospital would deliver efficient health services to the needy, which were earlier not available in the State.
