Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Bharati Pravin Pawar said the construction work of AIIMS Madurai will be completed by 2026. 

"The COVID-19 pandemic had held up the work, and the Union government revised the budget and allocated INR 1,977 crore for the project," she added, as reported by The Hindu.

Bharati Pravin Pawar inspected the Indur Primary Health Centre and interacted with patients and doctors and verified the availability of medicines. She paid homage at the Bharat Mata Memorial at Papparapatti and took part in a meeting with BJP leaders at Papparapatti and urged the party workers to take the Central government’s schemes to every home.

The Centre was implementing many schemes for the welfare of the common man, she said. Over seven lakh persons benefited from the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana in Dharmapuri district. The Centre had sanctioned INR 3,226 crore to Tamil Nadu under the National Health Mission. However, the state government was avoiding using Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s photo in the schemes funded by the Centre, she alleged.

She said INR 24 crore had been sanctioned to Tamil Nadu for advertising the health schemes but the Prime Minister’s photo did not find a place in these advertisements. This should be avoided, she added.
