Greetings from Tamil Nadu, a land renowned for its rich heritage and natural beauty. As the Health and Family Welfare Minister, it is a privilege to share our state’s healthcare accomplishments at Harvard University. Tamil Nadu has a robust history of pioneering public health initiatives dating back to 1923.

Under the visionary leadership of our Chief Minister, we continue to innovate with schemes like Innuyir Kappom Nammai Kakkum-48, ensuring cashless medical treatment for all road accident victims. Our commitment extends to preventive healthcare with schemes like Varumun Kappom Thittam and Siruneeragam Kakkum Seermigu Maruthuva, which aim to detect and manage chronic diseases early.
Tamil Nadu’s efforts in organ transplantation and rabies control set national benchmarks, reflecting our dedication to public health. Despite challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve adapted with initiatives like the Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam Scheme, ensuring continuity of care for NCD patients.
In essence, Tamil Nadu’s healthcare journey exemplifies innovation, inclusivity, and commitment to public welfare, making it a beacon of healthcare excellence globally.
