External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar today said the world is going through a period of deep turbulence and uncertainty. He said that partnerships like the one between India and Mauritius become more important in such times. Inaugurating Mauritius’ first dedicated Renal Transplant Unit at Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital, Dr Jaishankar said that India will always stand with Mauritius as a trusted partner. He termed the inauguration of the Renal Transplant Unit a landmark achievement. He said it is not just a medical milestone but a moment of hope, as it will be life-changing for patients suffering from kidney disease.

Dr Jaishankar further stated that cooperation in healthcare is set to expand further. He informed that the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam National Hospital, an AYUSH Centre of Excellence, and a Veterinary School and Animal Hospital will be the next chapter of the health partnership. He emphasised that development partnership is another important area of bilateral cooperation.
