Raipur, October 2026 / Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai has stated that healthy citizens are the strongest foundation for a developed and prosperous Chhattisgarh. Providing accessible, affordable, and quality healthcare to every citizen of the state is among the top priorities of the state government. With this commitment, continuous work is being done to strengthen health infrastructure, expand modern medical facilities, and provide better healthcare services to remote areas. As a result of these efforts, Chhattisgarh is rapidly developing as a major medical hub in Central India.
Chief Minister Shri Sai was addressing the inauguration ceremony of the 125-bed, state-of-the-art super-specialty Prathamesh Hospital, built on approximately one acre of land in Devpuri, Raipur, today. The Chief Minister inaugurated the hospital by cutting the ribbon and inquired about the modern medical facilities available there. He congratulated the hospital management, doctors, and the entire team and expressed confidence that the hospital will play a vital role in further strengthening the state's health services.
Better and modern treatment facilities should be available in the state itself
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that in the event of a serious illness, patients and their families must travel to other states for treatment, facing financial burdens and numerous practical difficulties. The state government is striving to ensure that the maximum number of specialist and super-specialty medical services are available to the people of the state within Chhattisgarh.
He said that the expansion of modern hospitals and specialized medical services in various areas of the state, including Raipur, will steadily reduce dependence on other states for treatment of serious illnesses. This will benefit not only the citizens of Chhattisgarh but also patients from neighboring states.
The Chief Minister said that through the coordinated efforts of government and private institutions in the health sector, a strong healthcare ecosystem is being developed in the state. The opening of modern hospitals will not only provide quality treatment to the public but will also create new employment opportunities for doctors, nursing staff, paramedical personnel, and youth.
A strong shield of health security under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the accessibility and quality of healthcare services in the country has expanded significantly. The Ayushman Bharat scheme has provided financial security to poor and needy families for treatment of serious illnesses. A large number of eligible families in Chhattisgarh are also receiving free treatment through this scheme.
He said that our double-engine government is striving to ensure that financial constraints do not hinder anyone's treatment. The expansion of healthcare facilities is not limited to major cities. Health infrastructure is being strengthened, from district hospitals to primary and community health centers. Special attention is also being paid to expanding access to medical services in remote forested areas and tribal areas.
The Chief Minister said that the government's thinking is clear – every citizen has equal right to better health services, whether he lives in the capital or in some remote forest area of the state.
Nava Raipur's Medicity will give a new identity to the health sector
