A Noble Effort for Healing Young Lives
According to PM Modi, Indians living in Ethiopia have taken the responsibility of sending ailing children to India for medical treatment. Financial assistance is also being provided by many Indian families to ensure that no child is left untreated due to lack of money. The aim is simple yet profound — every needy child should receive the best possible care and a new chance at life. This humanitarian initiative by the Indian community has been widely appreciated in Ethiopia.
Vaccine Sent To Afghanistan
PM Modi also emphasized how India’s healthcare facilities have steadily improved, making it a hub for patients from various countries. Recently, India sent vaccines to Afghanistan to combat diseases like rabies, tetanus, hepatitis B, and influenza. Similarly, large consignments of vaccines were dispatched to Nepal following their request.
Through these gestures, PM Modi reaffirmed that when it comes to serving humanity, India always leads with heart and will continue to do so.
