Jouramajra said 16 medical colleges were coming up in the state, which was a proof of the commitment of the state government’s priority towards the health services. By August 31, the medicines would be made available in all Government hospitals of the state and the shortfall of the doctors apart from other staff would also be made good soon. The Minister also appreciated and expressed gratitude to the family of NRI Late Kartar Singh Basiala which had constructed the Aam Aadmi Clinic in the village and handed it over to the Punjab Government.
