Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij on Friday said medical equipment and machines would be purchased for all government hospitals in the State at a cost of Rs64 crore.

The Health Minister while speaking at Haryana’s Fatehabad district said 761 doctors and 100 dental surgeons were being recruited for various hospitals.

Vij said the State Government was considering setting up of Trauma Centre in Agroha Medical College and a Trauma centre would also be opened between New Delhi and Panipat.

The previous Congress government has only raised buildings in the name of Trauma Centres. The concerned Chief Medical Officers of these Trauma centres have been asked to send detailed report about requirements of equipment, said he.

The Health Minister said that grievances of people were not redressed in the regime of previous Government. Therefore, the people were coming with hope to get their problems resolved. The BJP Government was committed to ensure justice to all, he added.
