Bringing Healthcare to the Heart of Villages: Launch of the Chief Minister’s Mobile Operation Theatre in Nagaland

The Government of Nagaland has introduced the Chief Minister's Mobile Operation Theatre (CM-MOT), a ground-breaking project intended to provide cutting-edge surgical and medical services directly to underprivileged communities throughout the state, in a major step towards revolutionising the delivery of healthcare in rural areas.



On January 26, 2025, the Governor of Nagaland, La Ganesan, formally opened the CM-MOT at the Secretariat Plaza in Kohima on the occasion of the 76th Republic Day. Chief Minister Dr. Neiphiu Rio and other high-ranking officials were present.

This initiative's main objective is to provide comprehensive surgical care and diagnostic services to rural and remote populations that have historically faced major obstacles to receiving high-quality healthcare, such as difficult terrain, a lack of transportation infrastructure, and the high cost of travelling to urban hospitals.

The mobile unit has state-of-the-art amenities, including a fully operational surgical theatre that can do minimally invasive and keyhole procedures. Additionally, it contains portable diagnostic tools that allow physicians to offer a variety of services immediately, including ultrasound, X-ray, endoscopy, and blood testing equipment.

The unit travels with a committed medical team from Kohimas Hospital, assisted by experts from both public and private healthcare facilities. The beneficiaries receive free surgical procedures, dental care, general consultations, and pre- and post-operative care from this team.

CM-MOT has already achieved significant progress throughout the northeastern state since its inception. The team conducted hundreds of surgeries, dental procedures, and outpatient consultations in dozens of rural places in 2025 and early 2026, including Aboi in Mon district, Dhansiripar in Chümoukedima, Longleng, and Wokha.

There has been a significant impact: villagers who did not previously have access to necessary medical care have now received life-saving treatments without having to deal with the financial and practical difficulties of long-distance travel. Narratives from field camps demonstrate not only therapeutic progress but also the restoration of patients' and their families' dignity and optimism.

The CM-MOT is praised by community leaders and healthcare professionals as a model for inclusive and equitable healthcare delivery, bridging the gap between rural health demands and urban medical infrastructure. The government of Nagaland hopes to lessen healthcare inequities and enhance general well-being throughout the state by integrating cutting-edge medical services into the communities that most need them.

In addition to being a symbol of creative governance, the mobile theatre serves as a ray of hope for rural communities that have long yearned for dependable and easily accessible surgical care.
