Minister of State for Road Transport & Highways and Civil Aviation, Government of India, General (Dr) VK Singh (Retd.), recently launched Mission Radiology India (MRI) with a customised ‘My Stamp’ of Mission Radiology India. MRI is a social initiative by Sundeep Sharma Foundation. The Mission Radiology India project aims to provide state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging services at highly subsidised prices. The Sundeep Sharma Foundation will bear 50 per cent of the costs. The MRI centralised command centre will be set up in Delhi, and the ancillary unit in Patna.
The established diagnostic centres will offer state-of-the-art services, including Magnetic Resonance Imaging 1.5 T, computed tomography, digital X-Ray, teleconsultation, and pathology services among others.
Dr Singh said, “Mission Radiology India will carve a new paradigm in the Indian healthcare sector by bridging the contrast between urban and rural healthcare services and will also complement the ambitious healthcare programmes of the Government of India, including the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) and Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission.”
