The government today claimed the credit for bringing for the first time into focus ‘Preventive Health Care’ which had been ignored for the last 70 years.
Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh said it was under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that in just a span of two years, India could produce two DNA vaccines and one nasal vaccine.
He emphasised the role and responsibility of the youth to become the architects of ”Amrit Kaal”. The energy and potential of the youth has to be channelised in nation-building, he said while addressing the delegates participating at a function in Jammu.

Dr Jitendra Singh also flagged two issues, the first was the shift from clinical medicine teaching due to increasing diagnostic capabilities. Now the clinical details were inferred after obtaining the test reports.
The second issue was Indian Research, Indian Data and Indian solution to Indian problems. He referred to even the West using Indian data. The need of the hour was using diverse Indian data to develop indigenous solutions to India’s medical health issues.
He emphasised the importance of integration amongst the medical fraternity. He further said the Government Medical College, Jammu has always taken a lead in the overall enhancement of the health status of the region.
These premier institutes should work on establishing state of art thyroid diseases research and treatment centres. There was no dearth of resources and new India was an era of opportunities in health care.
