To provide healthcare to millions of rail passengers and people living in areas adjacent to railway tracks, the health ministry Friday joined hands with the railway ministry to open more than 480 facilities, including tertiary care units, on unused railway lands.
'This is a historic decision by both health and railway ministries to provide healthcare to masses,' Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad told reporters here.
'This initiative will benefit railway passengers, railway employees and the common people living in and around railway lines,' said Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee.
She said the decision was taken after a month-long discussion with the health authorities, and urged both the ministries to speed up and provide quality healthcare to people living in grass roots.
