Imphal, May 14: "I don`t believe the underground will disturb the development of health care centres," said Union minister for health and family welfare Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss on Wednesday while promising to bring up the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, RIMS to be one of the best among the health care centres in the country.
The Union minister while giving his speech at the inauguration of the Paying Ward of the RIMS today also announced free of cost treatment facilities for the people living below poverty line, BPL and other poor people under the initiative of his ministry.
Dr. Ramadoss laid the foundation stones of a new OPD block, dental college and nursing college of RIMS with a sanctioned amount of Rs. 129 crores.
He said that in the next two years, people of the state would witness RIMS as one of the best health care centres of the country.
The announcements he made include increase in the intake of MBBS course students from the current enrolment strength of 100 to 150 for the next academic session, coming up of a 100 bedded cancer treatment centre within three to four months, resumption of CT Scan service which remain defunct due to non-functioning machines and nursing institute etc.
Immediate sanction of Rs. 19 crores for immediate relief from the water shortage problems faced by the institute was also announced by the minister.
While promising developmental package works of the institute, the Union minister said that he didn`t believe that while taking up all this work the underground elements would cause any disturbance.
Dr. Anbumani in his speech promised to develop and upgrade the RIMS and make it one of the best institutes of the country.
Despite having many super-specialists in the institute and manpower, there was lack of infrastructure compared with other health centres of the country, he said.
The state chief minister O Ibobi Singh, who presided over the function, said that the RIMS was the only medical institute which had been producing qualified doctors and faculties in the entire north eastern region.
He also appealed to the Central government to upgrade and provide sufficient facilities, empowerment for RIMS and also improvements in the power and water system of the institute.
The state health and family welfare minister, Ph Parijat said that since the RIMS had been taken over by the Centre various improvements had been witnessed. However, he drew the Centre`s attention towards the improvement of buildings and equipment suited with the times.
