This was said by Dr Naresh Trehan, chief managing director of Medanta-The Medicity, at the Hindustan Times's Leaderspeak@ht Conclave held in Gurgaon on Friday.

The noted cardiovascular expert, who was one of the panelists at the conclave, also suggested ways for setting up of mini-Medanta models for the rural areas of the state.

"Unfortunately the fast-growing health sector does not get the required talent pool as many fresh graduates from some medical colleges fail to deliver in terms of treating normal ailments, forget about serious ones. Haryana has the required infrastructure such as Rohtak Medical College and others. Haryana just needs to bolster up its infrastructure and bring together the facilities required for cr eating the quality talent pool for the healthcare sector," Dr Trehan added.

According to Trehan, the network would help in providing better accessibility of healthcare in remote areas.

Accredited social health activists (ASHA) at public health centres will coordinate with the private hospitals.
