Even as the Supreme Court had taken up the ‘freebie’, and other welfare measures of various political parties to make political gain, and referred the matter to a three-judge bench, parties of all hues compete with each other to voters. Incidentally, all three main contenders – Congrees, BJP and AAP – have almost similar promises with some modifications.

“Promises made by the Congress in the healthcare sector have been implemented in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. In Gujarat, too, when Congress forms government, we will fulfil these promises, which are very much possible to implement. We have set a target of winning more than 125 seats,” Thakor said.

As per the party healthcare manifesto, apart from free treatment of up to Rs 10 lakh for all citizens in government hospitals and approved private hospitals, there would also be free kidney, liver and heart transplant procedures.
The party would open ‘janata dispensary’ in every village and civic wards, while remote villages will get “mobile government hospital”.

As per the manifesto, there will be transparent recruitment of expert doctors, nursing and technical staff with full salary in all government hospitals, while government health centres and hospitals will get “generic medical stores” so that people get “quality medicines at reasonable prices”.
The party will also promote Ayurvedic, Unani, Homeopathic (AYUSH) treatments, for which it will develop an intensive curriculum, apart from appointing adequate academic and non-academic staff in medical colleges.
“Expert doctors will be appointed in district-level government hospitals for treatment of heart disease, kidney disease, cancer etc. Intensive programmes will be run to eliminate malnutrition among mothers and children, and nutrition centres will be set up in talukas with high prevalence,” it said.
The party, if voted to power, claimed it will promote the concept of “healthy citizenry” by giving priority to sports grounds, indoor stadiums, gymnasiums, yoga centres and nature cure.
Intensive programmes will be run to reduce maternal and child mortality below the national rate, the party said.
