Health Minister Shandil delayed a foreign trip amid backlash over family travel costs, insisting it was vital for advancing robotic surgery and healthcare improvements.
Himachal Pradesh Health Minister Dr. Dhani Ram Shandil postponed a planned foreign trip due to backlash over reports his son and daughter-in-law would travel at government expense.
He clarified they would pay their own way for health reasons, and defended the trip as essential to adopt global healthcare practices, including robotic surgeries already underway in state hospitals.
The visit was delayed six months amid ongoing recovery from heavy rains.
Shandil highlighted recent hires of 200 doctors and infrastructure upgrades, rejecting opposition claims of mismanagement as politically motivated.
BJP leaders criticized the timing, citing unmet public needs like damaged roads and disrupted medical care, but the minister maintained that strengthening public healthcare remains a top priority despite financial constraints.
