Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 11 said Gujarat was afflicted by many diseases two decades ago, and his government carried out a "surgery" to change the old system.
Launching healthcare facilities worth ₹1,275 crore at the Civil Hospital (Asarwa) in Ahmedabad, he also said that during the G20 summit he gave a call for 'One Earth, One Health' as he was pained to see that not a single dose of COVID-19 vaccines was available in some countries while in other countries people received four or five doses.
“Like one cures people of disease, we are carrying out this ‘Mukti Yagna’ to cure the State of many diseases. And we keep trying our best to cure it,” he said.
