Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Friday, 29 May inaugurated and laid foundation stones for nine major healthcare projects worth a combined ₹100 crore at a state-level event in Panchkula. The initiative spans diagnostic infrastructure, women's health clinics, free dialysis, tele-cardiology, and affordable medicine outlets across the state.
Key Developments
Chief Minister Saini inaugurated 30 health institutions built at a cost of ₹22.29 crore and laid foundation stones for 16 more costing ₹21.50 crore. He also laid the foundation stone for a rest house at the District Civil Hospital in Sonipat at a cost of ₹6.45 crore.
Under a public-private partnership (PPP) model, MRI facilities were inaugurated at district hospitals in Panipat and Kurukshetra at a cost of ₹12 crore, while CT scan services were launched at the Sub-Divisional Hospital in Bahadurgarh and the district hospital in Dadri at a cost of ₹10 crore.
Women's Health and Cardiac Care
'Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar' Clinics — dedicated women's health centres — were launched in 23 district hospitals at an annual operational cost of ₹0.34 crore. The initiative is aimed at improving maternal and reproductive health access at the district level.
Tele-ECG services were rolled out across 600 health institutions at an annual cost of ₹3 crore to enable timely detection and treatment of heart disease. This is a notable expansion of remote cardiac diagnostics in a state where rural-urban healthcare gaps remain significant.
Free Dialysis and Affordable Medicines
Free dialysis facilities were launched at Maharishi Chyavan Medical College in Koriawas, Narnaul and Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government Medical College in Chhainsa, Faridabad at an annual cost of ₹3.6 crore. Foundation stones for Amrit Pharmacies in 23 district hospitals were also laid at a cost of ₹1.73 crore, with the aim of supplying branded medicines at subsidised prices.
CSR Contribution and ASHA Training
Healthcare equipment worth more than ₹24 crore — including anaesthesia workstations, defibrillators, X-ray machines, TrueNat machines, and ICU beds — was dedicated to the public under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) contributions. A disaster management training programme for 4,600 ASHA workers was also launched at a cost of ₹0.91 crore.
What the Government Said
Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Saini said the occasion coincided with 12 years of governance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and described the transformation in India's healthcare sector during this period as 'unprecedented.' He recalled that poor families were once compelled to travel to major cities for basic treatment, a situation he said has been reversed through schemes such as Ayushman Bharat, Jan Aushadhi Kendras, the Digital Health Mission, expanded medical colleges, and advanced diagnostics.
With infrastructure, diagnostics, and community health workers all addressed in a single rollout, the state government is signalling a push toward integrated district-level healthcare ahead of the next electoral cycle.
