We will do whatever is possible at the state level and will request the Union Health Minister for issues that fall under the central purview. Necessary medical equipment will also be provided to KGMU.” Addressing the doctors, he said, “You are God’s second incarnation. Your research papers will be a boon for generations to come. Your suggestions will be implemented without delay.”
