UTtarakhand Chief government minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on mon inaugurated an MRI political machine in Champawat and proclaimed a serial publication of healthcare infrastructure projects worth over ₹40 crore aimed at strengthening medical facilities in the border district and nearby hill regions.The MRI machine, installed at a cost of nearly ₹6 crore under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) support from the ICICI Foundation for Inclusive Growth, is expected to significantly improve access to advanced diagnostic services for residents of Champawat and neighbouring districts.Addressing a public programme in Champawat, the CM said a healthy Uttarakhand was the foundation of a strong, self-reliant and developed state. He said the government was focusing not only on construction of hospitals but also on equipping them with modern medical technology, trained personnel and quality healthcare services.Dhami said the MRI facility would benefit lakhs of people from Champawat, Pithoragarh, Almora, Nainital and other adjoining border areas, who earlier had to travel to Haldwani and larger cities for complex diagnostic procedures.“Serious patients had to spend considerable time, money and effort travelling outside the district for MRI scans. Now advanced investigations related to brain, spine, nerves, joints, cancer and stroke will be available locally,” the Chief Minister said.The CM also reviewed ongoing healthcare infrastructure projects in the district.
