Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate six new AIIMS, including the ones in Samba, Jammu and Kashmir and Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh, in the next six days. The AIIMS in Samba, established under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana, is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. PM Modi will also inaugurate various medical colleges, nursing colleges, research labs, and food safety infrastructure projects. These initiatives aim to improve healthcare accessibility and affordability in India.
India aims to address the high cost of remittances and push for reduced charges at the WTO meet. It also seeks to emphasize telemedicine and building a pool of healthcare professionals for pandemics and natural disasters. However, there is a lack of consensus in critical areas such as agriculture, dispute settlement system, and fisheries agreement. India insists on finalizing the plan to rework the cap on procurement spending, while other nations want to defer the decision.
