Speaking at the occasion, DS Poonia pointed out that the Act on Manipur Medical Council is yet to be made functional and it is required to be made functional for ensuring better health care to the people of the State.
He assured that the required infrastructure for construction of the proposed Medical Office at Lamphel would be provided from the side of the Government.

In his presidential address, Dr Kh Palin observed that around 1.3 million doctors and 2.8 million nurses are needed in India.
Pointing out that about 80 percent of health care facilities in India are concentrated in the cities while there is no access to health care in rural areas, Dr Palin stressed on the need for proper implementation of National Rural Health Mission.
