The Bihar government today came in for praise from Union health minister Anbumani Ramadoss, who said it had done a lot in the past year to provide medical care to the people.
“I am not commenting on the overall performance of the NDA government in Bihar but I am happy with the programmes it has undertaken to improve the healthcare system in the state,” he told reporters at a hospital here, where he met auxiliary nurses and midwives and inspected the emergency ward.
Ramadoss said there was visible improvement in the health sector with growing public-private participation.
Asked about the setting up of a hospital in the city on the lines of Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences, the minister said such institutions would be built in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttaranchal and Orissa by the end of 2009.
Ramadoss later held a meeting with chief minister Nitish Kumar to discuss problems related to the health sector in Bihar.
