Rodrigues strongly advocated for the need to increase the outreach of quality healthcare system to every household in rural areas.

Accompanied by Jean Rodrigues, the Administrator inaugurated a health check-up camp and social welfare-oriented awareness camp at Mauli Jagran. The camp was organised by various departments of the Administration in collaboration with NGOs like Sri Guru Granth Sahib Sewa Society and Brig. Kataria Healthcare Foundation.

He also expressed anguish over the alarming rise in the number of AIDS cases and maternal mortality rate, despite various programmes and action plans.

Rodrigues asked the heads of these programmes to conduct a colony-wise and village-wise survey and take effective measures.
