Health and Family Welfare Minister Ampareen Lyngdoh expressed her admiration for the unwavering commitment of healthcare workers at the sixth edition of the Economic Times’ Best Healthcare Brands 2023 in New Delhi yesterday.
Lyngdoh delivered the chief guest’s address based on her role in spearheading initiatives that ensure accessibility and affordability of healthcare facilities at the grassroots.
“The networks that brought us here today will help us collaborate and share insights, demonstrate expertise, innovation and compassion on a unique platform that is striving to shape the future of healthcare,” Lyngdoh said. “Our healthcare sector has demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability, and the leaders in these sectors have recognised the importance of building robust and inclusive healthcare for everyone. The real change lies in our collective and collaborative strength.”
The minister said that Meghalaya has adopted a “positive healthcare model” that addresses the technical problems and the socio-economic determinants of its citizens. This approach focuses on building not only the curative aspects of healthcare but the preventive and educational aspects as well, she added.
“Meghalaya is one of the few states in India that has a dedicated Early Childhood Development Mission, launched in 2021, aimed at enabling the state’s children to achieve their full potential by providing good healthcare, nutrition and cognitive development opportunities during early childhood.”
Highlighting the extraordinary efforts of healthcare workers, Lyngdoh expressed her admiration for their unwavering commitment. She also took the opportunity to acknowledge doctors’ relentless dedication and sacrifices, as well as their families’ unwavering support.
