“3.60 crore Ayushman cards have been made in Madhya Pradesh. We will ensure universal coverage of Ayushman Bharat and Ayushman cards will be issued to everyone except those who are financially well-off. The treatment of complex diseases is very expensive. It is necessary to assure people that the government is with them,” the CM said.

He further said, “Doctors' jobs are very pious. Doctors are fortunate to perform the noble task of saving lives and making people healthy. The duty performed with passion gives joy and people will also respect. It is our foremost duty to provide the visiting patients the best treatment. Without health, a person cannot live well and cannot realise his resolutions. There is no greater religion than serving the needy.”

Service to the people of the state is the biggest service for him. No matter how many big hospitals or health institutions the government opens, doctors are the soul of these institutions. Everyone respected the service done by government hospitals and doctors during the Covid-19 pandemic, the CM said.

He added that if he had not been in politics, he would have definitely become a doctor. (ANI)
