Commenting on the attitude of doctors and nurses who are accused of not being cordial to patients, he said trained doctors and nurses were expected to be more friendly toward patients.

He added that the state was in need of more CHCs, Sub-centers, PHCs as manpower and infrastructure development is also a problem.

Meanwhile, MP, Secretary, North East MPs Forum, PD Rai said the duty of state governments is to formulate policies in accordance with guidelines given by center which forms part of cooperative federalism.
