There were elaborate and detailed discussions on various issues by the NTF members and they also put forth their suggestions, it said. During the meeting, the members informed that they have been approached directly by various stakeholders and have individually received almost 300 to 400 suggestions.
The health ministry also informed that a national portal has been created by it under the title ‘Suggestions to NTF’ to seek suggestions from individuals and different stakeholders across the country and added that it is operational as of Tuesday.
“Suggestions of the major stakeholders and those received on the portal will be collated by the Union health ministry for further consideration of the NTF members. Secretary (health), along with the NTF members, will have wider consultations with various major stakeholders,” it said.
