Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu highlighted concerns over faulty medical equipment after a blood sugar test at a Shimla camp showed an incorrect reading of 177, despite his known normal levels. He raised the issue at DDU Hospital, stressing the need for reliable diagnostic tools in government health institutions, and doctors later confirmed the machine was giving inconsistent results and replaced it.
Sukhu also outlined a broader vision for the state's healthcare upgrade, including installation of 3-Tesla MRI machines, robotic surgery facilities at four medical colleges, and automated laboratories with Rs 30 crore invested per institution. He emphasized technological advancement and improved access to care, while attributing delays in establishing Dr Radhakrishnan Government Medical College to lack of central funding, stating his government released over Rs 300 crore for its completion.
