Deoghar AIIMS: BJP MLA demands exclusive treatment ward for tribals
Hindustan TimesJharkhand BJP legislator Narayan Das has requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya for setting up an exclusive ward for treatment of scheduled tribes at Deoghar’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences. Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Tuesday inaugurated the outpatient department service at the newly established Deoghar AIIMS. In his letter to the PM and the health minister on Wednesday, Das has argued that Deoghar AIIMS was located in tribal-dominated Santhal Pargana division of Jharkhand and a special ward for the community would ensure better healthcare for them. Therefore, a Scheduled Tribe special treatment ward should be established there so that tribals could benefit from it as they have remained undeveloped even 7-8 decades after the independence,” read Das’ letter to the PM and the health minister.
