Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized Wednesday that three major government programs have strengthened public health while developing the nation's workforce. The Prime Minister's Office highlighted an analysis by Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty, Chairman of Narayana Health, describing how federal policy transformed healthcare into an economic growth engine. Modi's administration views medical services as productive investments rather than expenses, according to the cardiologist's assessment.
