Bhagwant Singh Mann Dedicates Institute Of Liver And Biliary Sciences To The People

Chandigarh, March 1 (TNA) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Thursday said that his government is committed to offering superior facilities in government institutions, ensuring that no citizen of Punjab is denied access to government services. Dedicating the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences to the People at Mohali, Mann said that this institute is the second in the country and the first in Punjab to have such a plethora of modern machines, surpassing even private hospitals.

Addressing the gathering after dedicating the ‘Punjab Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences to the people, the Chief Minister said that previous governments and politicians promoted the privatization of government institutions, completely neglecting government institutions. He said that these tyrant politicians were so greedy and ruthless that they orchestrated a well-planned conspiracy to ruin the government’s health and education infrastructure in Punjab, compelling the common man to seek education or treatment from the private sector.

The Chief Minister said that cancer treatment in private hospitals was prohibitively expensive, rendering many cancer patients unable to afford treatment due to their economic conditions. Previous rulers promoted private institutions solely for profit, filling their coffers while leaving the needy people deprived of seeking quality treatment from government hospitals. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that these politicians, deeply entrenched in nepotism and have never worked for the welfare of Punjab, led the people of Punjab to reject them from power.

Highlighting the steps being taken for the betterment of government institutions in the state, the Chief Minister pointed out that the Punjab Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, dedicated to the people at Mohali today, is the second in the country and the first in Punjab to have such a plethora of modern machines, surpassing even private hospitals.

He further said that the government is establishing 45 maternity and childcare centres in the state, with 37 already dedicated to the people. Additionally, 664 Aam Aadmi Clinics have been established where treatment is provided free of cost. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that it is a matter of great satisfaction that more than one crore people have been treated so far.
