Reviewing the details of the State Annual Action Plan, Chief Secretary stressed on proper evaluation and assessment of the training components.

The formats should be devised in a manner where the feedbacks from both the trainers and trainees are obtained, he said.
Alarmed with the high number of cancer patients and cases in Arunachal Pradesh, CS urged the health department to conduct Cancer Awareness Camps regularly. “We should invite Master Trainers from Government of India and institutes like AIIMS,” he added.

Further, considering the free health services rendered by the traditional healers in Arunachal Pradesh, CS desired that they should be given proper recognition and credit by the concerned authorities for their selfless service to mankind.
