“The government has created jumbo health facilities for the people. There is a need to instil a bit of confidence among them – that they could get better services in these facilities. That will encourage them to approach the government and subsequently reduce the burden on the private hospitals,” he said.

“Assume that the battle against Covid-19 is in the last phase and we have to win it,” he said.
