According to Ampareen, there is a need for the Centre to focus on Meghalaya considering that services provided by institutions like sub centres, PHCs and CHCs are inadequate.
“So the government of Meghalaya wants to bring this before the union ministry so that we may get adequate funding to further strengthen our tertiary care centre, PHCs, CHCs and sub centres,” Lyngdoh added.
