Sources in Agartala informed that , this recommendation was made by the Chief Minister Biplab Kurmar Deb in tune with the BJP government’s objective to convert Tripura to an international healthcare hub.
The Chief Minister already held meeting during his last visit to New Delhi with one of the founders of Medanta and a globally acclaimed cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgeon, Padmabhushan Dr Naresh Trehan.
At the meeting with Dr Naresh Trehan, Chief Minister reportedly pointed out that Tripura would be best suited for international healthcare hub considering its close proximity to Bangladesh and the South East Asian countries.
