Amritsar, September 17
With the opening of a health centre in the holy city, now the Netherlands has close collaboration in agriculture and healthcare with Punjab. This was stated by Marten Van Den Berg, Ambassador of Netherlands to India, here on Friday.
It was his maiden visit to the holy city since he assumed the office in New Delhi three years ago. He inaugurated a healthcare centre — Madan Lal Puran Devi Jain Trust — at Jandiala Guru. Later, he paid obeisance at the Golden Temple.
He said Dutch organisations — PUM and Hans Bkankart — provided certain medical equipment to the centre. These organisations were providing medical equipment and expertise to health centres being run in various parts of the country.
He said it was anticipated that the health centre would provide medical care to natives of nearly 80 villages. Improved healthcare was the need of the hour. — TNS
