Talking to reporters in New Delhi today, Union Health Secretary K Chandramouli said that the force will give its recommendations in coming months. He added that the ministry is committed to provide accessible treatment of cancer, diabetes and cardio-vascular disorders to the people. Mr Chandramouli also said that the Centre has asked the states for their suggestions on various details, including the cost of surgeries and other treatments as health is a state issue.
