New Delhi, June 29 (IANS) India has become a global leader not only in curative healthcare but also in preventive healthcare owing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of universal healthcare for all, Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, said on Saturday.
