He inaugurated the new super specialty eye care center at Shankara Eye Hospital near Pedakakani in Guntur. The CM praised the hospital’s long service to the poor through free eye surgeries.
Naidu announced a new “Sanjeevani” digital health project with Tata Group. It will deliver medical services to every doorstep across Andhra Pradesh. The government is also digitizing health records of five crore citizens to promote preventive and curative care.
He said a Universal Health Insurance Policy will soon offer ₹2.5 lakh coverage per person and up to ₹25 lakh per family. Naidu appreciated Shankara Eye Hospital’s “Gift of Vision” and “Rainbow” programs for child eye care.
