In our country, rumours spread quickly, the Prime Minister said.

 

"Different people for their personal gains or due to irresponsible behaviour spread various rumours. Maybe rumours will be spread when vaccination begins, some have already begun," he added.

 

"I appeal to the people of the country that fight against COVID-19 is the one against an unknown enemy. Be careful about such rumours and as responsible citizens refrain from forwarding messages on social media without checking," said PM Modi.

 

"We are working on the mission to improve medical education in India. After the formation of the National Medical Commission, the quality of health education will improve," he said.

 

"We started working holistically in the health sector. While we stressed on preventive care, on one hand, we also gave priority to modern treatment facilities," he added.
