CG NEWS: Consider to match ‘Genetic Kundli’: Minister

BHILAI, CG: Chhattisgarh Health Minister Shyam Bihari Jaiswal on Friday advocated for proactive measures, suggesting, “The younger generation should consider not only ‘Janam Kundli’ (birth chart) but also ‘Genetic Kundli’ (genetic horoscope) before marriage to eradicate diseases like sickle cell anemia.”

He was addressing the second round table conference on "Health Innovation Care in Chhattisgarh" at IIT Bhilai. The conference facilitated a constructive dialogue among officials from IIT, IIM, AIIMS, NIT, and multinational companies on enhancing medical facilities in remote areas of Chhattisgarh.

Discussions revolved on innovative health suggestions and technologies expected to greatly benefit the state in the near future.

He said one needs to keep good health as it is more important that a person does not fall ill.

Technology is being effectively utilized, benefiting even the remote areas. Drone medical service from Ambikapur to Udaipur and the introduction of robotic surgery at Mekahara in Raipur as evidence of innovative healthcare solutions, he said.

Minister urged India's leading institutions to explore new healthcare technologies, pledging full support from the state government. He disclosed ongoing efforts to expand healthcare infrastructure in remote regions, including plans for 700-bed hospitals in Raipur and Bilaspur, and super specialty hospitals in Bastar and Surguja.

The Chief Minister's Advisor Dr. Dhirendra Tiwari, IIT Bhilai Director Prof. Dr. Rajiv Prakash, AIIMS Raipur Executive Director Lieutenant General Ashok Jindal, NIT Raipur Director Prof. N.V. Ramanna Rao, officials from IIM Raipur and Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign and research scholars from IIT Bhilai attended it.
