This Center will be at the forefront of research on how to treat brain illnesses “Prime Minister tweeted.
“At a time when every nation must prioritise healthcare, initiatives like the Bagchi Parthasarathy Multispeciality Hospital are critical. It would boost healthcare capacity and stimulate pioneering research in the field in the future “he remarked.
