Governor Arif Mohammed Khan has asked universities to launch new start-ups and encourage coordination with foreign universities in research and studies. He has urged the Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS) to take the initiative towards this. The Governor was addressing the 15th convocation ceremony of the KUHS here on Tuesday.
Research should be encouraged in the fields such as Ayurveda and Unani, he said. By converting the primary health centres into family health centres, Kerala took the health services to the common people. Good health service is an indicator of a country’s improvement, the Governor said, while recalling the “selfless services” of health workers during the time of pandemic.
“India is leading in the production of generic medicines in the world. We are exporting medicines to 200 countries,” he said, pointing out that Kerala is on the top of the NITI Aayog Health Index.
