NEW DELHI: Union Health Minister J P Nadda on Friday reviewed health infrastructure preparedness of hospitals in the country on Friday amid the ongoing India-Pakistan military conflict and directed officials to ensure all medical emergency response systems are fully equipped and functional.

An official statement said the minister stressed the need to establish ground-level linkages with all state governments, especially those with international borders, to provide immediate healthcare services in case of emergencies.
