Newly appointed Ministers of State for Health Faggan Singh Kulaste and Anupriya Patel today assumed charge.
Both the ministers were welcomed by Health Minister J P Nadda who said they would work together in the service of the nation.
Kulsate and Patel thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the responsibility and said they would work to increase the reach of healthcare to the common masses.
The target of the government and the Prime Minister is to provide healthcare to each and every human being.
"Making this our priority, we would try to take this to every common man of the country," Kulaste said after assuming charge.
Nadda also thanked Modi for "assigning" two Ministers of State.
"I welcome my colleagues MoS Sh.Fagan Singh Kulhaste & Smt.Anupriya Patel as they assumed their assignments in MOHFW.
"I thank respected PM @narendramodiji for assigning two MOS to the Health ministry. Jointly we will work together in the service of nation (sic)," he said in a series of tweets.
In a major reshuffle yesterday, Patel and Kulaste were inducted into the government.
The 35-year-old Patel is a Lok Sabha member from Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh. She won on a ticket of Apna Dal, a party founded by her father and Kurmi leader Sonelal Patel which later split, with the larger faction siding with her mother, who expelled her from the party.
Kulsate is an Lok Sabha member from Madhya Pradesh.
