Addressing a large and enthusiastic gathering, he said he is delighted to visit Arunachal Pradesh and be among the wonderful people of the State.

He said that conferences and cultural activities will draw government officials and private companies.

The Prime Minister said Union Ministers, and officials from the Union Government are visiting the North-East regularly.
Speaking about the health sector, the Prime Minister said that there is need to focus attention on human resource development, infrastructure, and use of modern technology in this sector. He said the Union Government is working towards building medical colleges in all parts of the nation. He said this is because, when one studies in a particular area, one becomes better acquainted with the local health challenges.
He said healthcare has to be of good quality and it must be affordable. He said the prices of stents had been brought down so that the poor and middle class families benefit. He said the Ayushman Bharat scheme will take the lead in providing quality and affordable healthcare.
