India’s 74th Independence day
On this 74th Independence day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday, 15th Aug’ 20 addresses the nation from the rampart of Red Fort in the national capital, Delhi. PM Modi announced a National Digital Health Mission to boost the health care system.
He voiced, “Every Indian will get a Health card ID. Every time you visit a doctor or a pharmacy, everything will be logged in the health care in your profile on a national scale. From the doctor’s appointment to the medication advised, everything will be available in your health profile.”
“This day is to remember the sacrifices given by our freedom fighters who served this nation with their soul and blood. This day is also to pay gratitude to security personnel who are always on a cold war protecting Indian citizens. This includes defense, paramilitary, and police”.
He expressed his dejection that he couldn’t see young children because of this distinct time. Corona has stopped everyone. He conveys on the behalf of the entire recognition to the corona warriors who have lived the mantra “Seva Parmo Dharma” and give out their best possible service to the people of India. We salute them.
In this midst of the Corona Pandemic, 130 crore Indians have pledged to build an Aatma Nirbhar Bharat (Self-reliant India).
He added, “Three vaccines are in different stages of testing. When scientists give the go-ahead, we are ready with a plan for the production. How the vaccine will reach every Indian in the least amount of time. We have a roadmap ready for that.”
India is among the listed countries racing for the production of the COVID-19 vaccine. Bharat Biotech International, an unlisted vaccine maker, received regulatory approval to start human clinical trials from the Indian Council of Medical and Research (ICMR).
