Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Sunday attributed the achievements of Kerala in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic to the enhancement of health infrastructure facilities initiated as part of the Ardram Mission.
Speaking after laying the foundation stone for a super speciality block to be built at Government Medical College Hospital, Kottayam, at a cost of ₹268.60 crore, Mr. Vijayan said the key focus of the government that came to power in 2016 was to revive and empower the health sector that had collapsed in a big way.
“Even at the height of the pandemic, we had vacant beds, oxygen beds, and ICU beds at these hospitals,’’ he noted.
