The Union Minister was speaking at the Old Government General Hospital in Vijayawada on Saturday, where he inaugurated the Critical Care Block. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and State Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav were present.

Responding positively to Mr. Naidu’s proposal to give national recognition to the project, Mr. Nadda said that a technical team would be sent to Amaravati for further discussions.
