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.
