Guwahati, March 28, 2026 — Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday (March 27, 2026) that quality healthcare is no longer a concern in the state, citing the expansion of hospitals and medical colleges and the reach of government welfare schemes. He told reporters that a broader health infrastructure and public programmes have improved access to medical care across Assam.
“Quality healthcare is no longer a worry in Assam — with a wide network of hospitals and medical colleges, people are assured of good treatment,” Sarma said, underlining the state’s investment in health facilities and training institutions.
Highlighting the impact of welfare measures, Sarma said more than 1.2 crore people have already benefited under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, which provides free treatment of up to Rs 5 lakh. “Over 1.2 crore people have already availed free medical treatment up to ₹5 lakhs, taking away the worry of medical expenses,” he added.
Sarma said such initiatives focused on public welfare will continue under the current government. “These people-friendly schemes will continue with your blessings to the BJP government,” he said, framing the programmes as long-term commitments to reduce healthcare-related financial stress for families.
The chief minister’s comments, published on March 28, 2026, stress the administration’s emphasis on expanding health services and sustaining flagship schemes like Ayushman Bharat to improve health security for Assam’s residents.
