CM opens upgraded FRU at Ranikor

Shillong, Jan 24: Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Friday inaugurated the newly upgraded First Referral Unit (FRU) at Ranikor CHC in South West Khasi Hills.

A fully functional operation theatre, a labour room, and advanced equipment for various medical investigations are among the upgraded facilities at the FRU.

Health minister Ampareen Lyngdoh was also present on the occasion.

Speaking on the occasion, the chief minister said, “This is a proud moment for the state as we take another step towards improving healthcare accessibility in rural areas. Many people have had to travel five to six hours for essential medical services, and this facility will help bridge that gap and potentially save lives.”

He expressed his gratitude to the health department and frontline healthcare workers.

“I commend the dedication and sacrifice of our doctors and nurses, who serve tirelessly in these challenging locations. Their commitment to the people of the state is truly admirable,” he said.
