Kshetrigao AC MLA Sheikh Noorul Hassan on Sunday launched Sheikh Noorul Hassan Health Protection Mission with the aim of improving the health of Keirao denizens.
He also announced that he would be donating his salary for 5 years to the health mission.
Speaking to newspersons on the sidelines of the launch function held at his Kshetri Awang Leikai residence, Sheikh Noorul Hassan remarked that the constituency will undergo development with improvement in the healthcare facility and education sector.

The MLA continued that Kshetrigao is mostly a rural constituency with majority of its people living below the poverty line.
As such, many failed to get hospitalised in time during emergencies, while at times they do not have the money for purchasing medicines after consultation with the doctors.
"Thus, the newly launched health mission would benefit all denizens of Kshetrigao regardless of whether they voted for him or not.
Sheikh Noorul Hassan Health Protection Mission is divided into three categories- Silver, Gold and Platinum.
In the silver category, the beneficiary has to pay an annual fee of Rs 1000 and avail free consultation at 4 empanelled hospitals.
In the gold category, the beneficiary has to pay an annual fee of Rs 1500 and avail free consultation, OPD and In Patient department (IPD) at the empanelled hospitals.
Meanwhile, in the platinum category, the beneficiary has to pay an annual fee of Rs 2000 and avail free consultation, OPD, IPD, surgery, hospitalisation and medicines at the empanelled hospitals.
However, all of the above is exclusive of any diagnostics," he informed.
