New Delhi [India], October 4 (ANI): In an attempt to break the barrier with representatives of the medical field, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya hosted a dinner for the medical students of AIIMS Delhi at his residence on the occasion of Ashtami on Monday.
He invited All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Director Dr M Srinivas, AIIMS Dean, Professors and faculty members to his residence, thus becoming the first health minister to do so.
He also participated in a bicycle rally at Kartavya Path ahead of hosting the dinner with an aim to create awareness about Tuberculosis (TB).
