Coimbatore: Tamil Nadu's groundbreaking healthcare scheme 'Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam' launched by CM MK Stalin has received international recognition by winning the prestigious UN-AITF Award. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin announced this achievement on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the scheme's significant impact on the state's healthcare landscape.

The Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam scheme, a flagship initiative of the current Dravidian Model Government, has been hailed as a pioneering healthcare program for the Indian subcontinent. With over 1.80 crore beneficiaries, the scheme has been transforming lives by delivering essential healthcare services directly to people's doorsteps.

This international accolade not only recognizes Tamil Nadu's efforts in healthcare but also sets a benchmark for other states and countries to follow in providing accessible and quality healthcare to their citizens.
