State Govt has started to work in this direction already. Tripura also has huge numbers of hospitals but people are travelling to Chennai and other states for treatment. Only due to flight charges the patient parties are costing at least Rs. 50,000. It means at least 2.30 lakhs are spent and also lots of patients from Bangladesh travel in other states, but if our state can provide similar quality’s health service like outside hospitals all the patients will come here in Tripura and this will bless Tripura’s economy. Their costs will also be less and the treatment will be cheaper, but that level of service should be given by us so that patients chose to travel in Tripura and Tripura people never go outside”. CM announced that Regional Cancer centre at the cost of Rs. 160 crores is going to be started in Tripura soon.
