This centre will ensure immediate treatment to patients upon arrival without waiting for admission and the patients will be shifted later on to the concerned wards depending on their condition”.
The Health Minister also used the platform to express his gratitude to the medical fraternity for their selfless and dedicated service in fighting with the pandemic.

Satyendar Jain, through his address, urged the people to remain cautious and follow COVID-appropriate behaviour.
