During his visit, CM Saha engaged with doctors and patients at the Ayurvedic Hospital to assess the current healthcare facilities. He acknowledged the historical significance of the hospital and the community’s high expectations for its services.
“The Ayurvedic hospital itself has a long history. People have high expectations for the hospital. There are 50 beds here but more patients are coming. I came to see the overall situation to consider what can be done with the old building,” he noted.
