పట్టాలు తప్పిన ఆరోగ్య వ్యవస్థను గాడిలో పెడుతున్నాం. కొత్తగా 3 మెడికల్‌ కాలేజీలు, పేదరోగులకు అండగా ఉండేందుకు 5 క్యాన్సర్, 2 కిడ్నీ ఆస్పత్రుల నిర్మాణానికి కార్యాచరణ రూపొందించాం. ప్రాధాన్యతల ప్రకారం ప్రభుత్వ ఆస్పత్రులను, 108 & 104 సర్వీసులను మెరుగుపరుస్తున్నాం.

During his Praja Sankalp Padayatra, YS Jagan exposed the failings of the TDP government in providing decent healthcare to the poor. The situation of hospitals had gone from bad to worse. The services such as 104, 108, and Aarogyasri initiated by the former chief minister Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy have taken a backseat. True to the promises made during his Padayatra, YS Jagan is laying more emphasis on healthcare and education. In a way, education, health and welfare schemes have become the pet projects of the Chief Minister.
