Bhopal: Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan addresses ministers ahead of cabinet meeting in Madhya Pradesh. Chief Minister Shivraj said january 12 will be celebrated as Employment Day. The functions will be held at the block level. It will distribute sanctioned loan letters under various schemes to about 3 lakh persons. We have to maintain this event continuously every month. It is a matter of happiness that Madhya Pradesh is among the states where the unemployment rate is the lowest. The key character in this is the expenditure on the development of infrastructure. This expenditure is 40% higher than in 2019. Even in corona threat, we continued to develop infrastructure. Then, the Cabinet meeting began.
At present, cancer patients are treated with cobalt machines in hospitals affiliated to medical colleges. This is an old technique of treatment. It will be replaced by a linear accelerator. At present, 13 linear accelerator equipment is available in the State. Out of these, only one government institution is functioning in AIIMS. Due to this, patients have to go out of private institutions or the state for treatment, which puts additional financial burden on them.
In view of the same, it has been decided that linear accelerators will be set up under Private Public Participation Scheme in hospitals affiliated to Bhopal, Indore and Rewa Medical Colleges. The operation will be carried out by the service provider. The proposal will be presented at a cabinet meeting chaired by CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Tuesday. Officials of the same medical education department say that cobalt machines give radiation in an area of more than one-two centimeters from the cancer tumor sector, which also affects healthy cells and causes problems like weakness, anaemia, swelling to the patient. Many patients leave the treatment incomplete due to these difficulties. However, linear accelerator is a modern technology tool for cancer treatment.
