Health Minister JP Nadda believes healthcare in India has progressed to great extent

Health Minister J.P. Nadda on Tuesday said India has progressed to a ‘great extent’ in the health arena and overcome several challenges to ensure a healthy India. He said the performance of India’s health sector should not be compared to other countries as the conditions under which it progressed are entirely different. ‘We should not compare India to other nations. The health system of India cannot be replicated or compared to others. With a population of 1.25 billion, India is doing a commendable job and addressing its health issues well,’ Nadda said in parliament. He was speaking on a discussion on the working of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Nadda said though the ministry faced several challenges in the last few years, it overcame all to give a healthy India.
