Panaji, Oct 5 : Former Indian Medical Association (IMA) Goa President Dr Suyog Samuel Arawattigi joined Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the city today.

He joined the party in the presence of AAP Vice President Valmiki Naik, General Secretary Gerson Gomes and Velim Assembly incharge Cruz Silva.

“I have been helping people via many platforms, so I finally decided to join AAP to be able to help people on a much larger scale. I have aligned with their vision and ideology. Not only have I heard about AAP and their path breaking work in healthcare and I have also physically seen AAP’s work in Delhi. Whenever I have gone for medical conferences,”, Dr Suyog Samuel Arawattigi said after joining the party.

“A person who meets with an accident is treated for free. The Person who helps is also rewarded. Our PHCs must be upgraded like Mohalla Clinics with all facilities like X rays and other tests.
Only then can we reduce the load on existing hospitals and reduce the strain on common Goenkars and only AAP can do this. While I worked during Covid second wave I saw how each and every Goenkar suffered with both mental and financial stress. AAP is the only party who can change this. Despite not having a single MLA they were seen on the ground helping people with food, oximeters, oxygen cylinders and a medical helpline that worked when the Govt failed. This is why I want to work with AAP and serve my constituency and the state. Goa needs AAP,” he said.(UNI)
