Gandhinagar, October 4: Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the Hiramani Aarogyadham facility in Adalaj, built at a cost of Rs 50 crore by the Janshayak Trust. During the event, Shah praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for prioritising the health of India's 140 crore citizens through a comprehensive health protection framework that includes 37 schemes.

Shah noted that this facility serves as a tribute to his parents and is inspired by the commitment of Shri Narhari Amin to serve society. He highlighted that environmental pollution and a fast-paced lifestyle have contributed to health problems, making continuous healthcare services essential but often too expensive for many citizens, particularly the underprivileged. PM Narendra Modi Started Movement in Country to Inculcate Cleanliness in Nation, Says Amit Shah.
