He was inaugurating the Nirali Cancer Hospital set up by the A.M. Naik Healthcare and Education Trust run by L&T Chairman Padma Vibhushan Anil Naik.
Mr. Rupani said this modern hospital equipped with best equipment should be useful for the poor, have-nots and common man in need in the predominantly tribal areas. He described the Naik family for their compassion and large heart for sharing their wealth in the larger interest of the society, and complimented him for the yeoman’s job of wiping the tears of the less fortunate.
He said the government has provided Mukhya Mantri Amritam Vatsalya Card to over 60 lakh families in the state for medical treatment of serious diseases like cancer free-of-cost up to Rs three lakh. The Pradhan Mantri has covered such families under Ayushman Bharat for providing medical treatment free-of-cost up to Rs five lakh.

Speaking on the occasion, Padma Vibhushan Awardee Mr. A. M. Nayak said that this hospital will bring a new era of hope and confidence in the society. “I am feeling happy that I was able to make contribution for my birth-place.”
The state-of-art hospital is offering wide scope of cancer care at the hospital and the entire region. The hospital has been built in memory of granddaughter of Mr. Nayak, who is also chairman of Larsen and Toubro Group.
The hospital will provide services such as Oncology, Diagnostics, Nuclear Medicine, Radiology as well as Pain Management, Physiotherapy and others for treating the cancer patients.
