Souillac: inauguration of a Health Track at a cost of Rs 15 million

il y a 1 mois - mars 26, 2024

At the initiative of the Ministry of Health, a Health Track was set up in Souillac. This project, which cost Rs 15 million, was jointly financed by the Environment and Climate Change Fund and the Employees Welfare Fund. Residents will be able to practice sports and get some fresh air, with a specially designed space.

Practice sport safely and in your neighborhood. This is the objective which underlies this health course inaugurated this week in Souillac. The Minister of Health, Kailesh Jagutpal, who inaugurated this space, recalled that the government's policy consists of encouraging the population to play sports to be in good health.

This location, said the minister, housed a dental clinic for several years. “Over time, after the construction of the Souillac hospital, the service was transferred. The space had therefore been abandoned for a while. The Ministry of Health approached the Ministry of the Environment and the EWF for a health trail for local residents. " Especially, he added, as it is in a residential region and accessible to all.

Kailesh Jagutpal appealed to the residents of Souillac to use this space wisely. “I invite you to make good use of this space and keep it clean. Especially since the Environment has invested in such a project. There should not be plastic bottles or cans thrown on the ground. It must be preserved like a little jewel. "

The Minister of the Environment, Kavy Ramano, who was also present at the inauguration, said he was happy with this collaboration. “The Ministry of the Environment is pleased to partner with this project which was jointly funded by the Environment and Climate Change Fund and the Employees Welfare Fund. "

Kavy Ramano indicated that this health journey is part of improving the quality of life. Likewise, he specified, the Ministry of the Environment is embarking on a series of projects in constituency No. 13 (Rivière-des-Anguilles/Souillac).

Ismaël Rawoo, Parliamentary Private Secretary for the constituency, also pointed out that this project is part of the government's policy of keeping the population in good health. “It’s also a meeting place. We must take advantage of it, while preserving the environment. We have preserved all the fruit trees that were on this land. We invite local residents to take full advantage of it. "

As for Atish Boyjonauth, president of the Employees Welfare Fund, he said that one of the objectives of the EWF is to ensure the well-being of families. “When the Ministry of Health approached us for this project, we agreed without hesitation. I invite the inhabitants of Souillac to take advantage of this health journey and to take care of it. "
