He stressed that improvement needs to be visible in the primary and community health centres, district hospitals and all the medical and health services in the state.
Asking all departments to work in coordination for better medical facilities, he directed posting AYUSH doctors in primary health centres so that people in villages and remote areas could get prompt medical attention and first aid.
He also asked for proper implementation of 'Janani Suraksha Yojna'. He asked for completing all under construction hospital buildings by March 2018.
