Jagat Prakash Nadda, the President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has been appointed as the new Health Minister of India. This appointment was announced as part of the formation of the newly constituted Union Council of Ministers. Nadda will replace Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya in this crucial role.

Nadda is no stranger to this position, having previously served as the Health Minister during the first and second terms of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. His prior experience in the ministry is expected to be beneficial as he takes on this critical portfolio once again.

The decision to bring back Nadda into the health ministry underscores the government's confidence in his leadership and expertise in managing the country's healthcare policies and programs. His return comes at a time when India continues to navigate the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and aims to bolster its healthcare infrastructure.

Nadda's appointment is seen as a strategic move by the BJP, leveraging his extensive political and administrative experience to drive forward the nation's health agenda.
