Agartala, India (CU)_ The Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) will shortly introduce improved and upgraded health ambulances with all amenities to serve rural residents throughout the state. This announcement was delivered by Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarman, head of TTAADC’s Administrative Reforms Committee and royal scion of Tripura.
Pradyot was accompanied by Mevar Kumar Jamatia, Tribal Welfare minister of Tripura, and Purna Chandra Jamatia, Chief Executive Member of ADC, on Monday and introduced the first tele-emergency and tele-consultation services that were launched by Apollo Health Care at Kherengbar Hospital in Khumulwng, which is based 20 kilometers from the city of Agartala.
During the inauguration of the healthcare services, Pradyot expressed optimism over the initiative. He said, “The Apollo group, one of the biggest groups of hospitals and health care, trusted us. This brand became first in Khumulwng, not in Agartala. The people of Tripura’s capital city can visit and get treatment here. We are hopeful that the people from neighboring country Bangladesh and states of northeastern region of India will visit Khumulwng for better health care facilities.”
Pradyot further spoke about the need for such initiatives in the rural areas. He added, “Politics should not be done with education, health and development. Before the arrival of Apollo, many said that the TTAADC administration was fooling common people. Now see, here they are. In Agartala, there are more than 5 hospitals. What do we have in TTAADC? This is not ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’. The time when the government will treat everyone equally then only the slogan will be meaningful”.
Pradyot also promised that the TTAADC government will introduce ambulances with all advanced amenities. The royal scion detailed the advanced facilities of the ambulances. It said, “We are bringing ambulances with advanced and modern facilities. The common masses residing in rural and remote areas of the interior parts of ADC are facing difficulties with serious health issues. These ambulances will consist of doctors, sophisticated machines, and laboratories. There is no necessity to visit hospitals as preliminary treatment is available in the ambulances and the treatment provided would be free of cost.”
