Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said the private sector should also lay stress on research in medical sciences apart from providing healthcare facilities to people.

Shah made the remarks while attending the inauguration of a privately-built multi-superspeciality hospital in Bhubaneswar, where Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan were also present.

The hospital, SUM Ultimate Medicare, would provide quaternary care.

"I wish great success to this new medical facility," Shah said. "Opening medical colleges may not help to totally develop the healthcare sector. The private sector should also stress on research in medical sciences."
