Hassan district unit of BJP congratulates Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union ministers, doctors and scientists
Hassan district unit of the BJP has said the Union Government successfully completed one year of COVID-19 vaccination, despite negative campaign against the vaccine by opposition parties. The party unit has congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union ministers, doctors and scientists.
In a media conference in Hassan on January 17, party’s district spokesperson H.M. Suresh Kumar said the vaccination campaign under the leadership of the Prime Minister had been successful despite tough circumstances. When the vaccine was launched, many people spoke against it and doubted its efficacy. But, the campaign had been successful. “Within a year, 66 crore people had taken two doses, and 91 crore people had taken the first dose. Among children between the age of 15 and 17, more than 3.31 crore had taken the vaccine,” he said.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
