Moreover in response to the urgent demand for healthcare services, the Cabinet has approved the development of 37 additional Hemodialysis facilities throughout Assam.
The public-private partnership (PPP) model, with the support of corporate social responsibility (CSR) partners, will see an additional 150 Hemo-dialysis machines being operated in these centers.
The Cabinet has given the green light for the endorsement of a three-way memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Government of Assam, Tata Education & Development Trusts (TEDT), and the Assam Cancer Care Foundation (ACCF) in order to strengthen cancer care facilities.
The primary goal of this initiative is to offer top-notch yet cost-effective cancer treatment throughout Assam and the surrounding area.
Additionally as a response to the current flood situation in Assam, Sarma has declared the deployment of “Team Assam” to all areas affected by the flood. This effort highlights the proactive stance of the state government in handling natural disasters and offering prompt aid to impacted communities.
