Difficulty: MediumInference and Logical Deduction

Read the following passage carefully:

Under the 2026 Public Tele-medicine Expansion Framework, regional public healthcare facilities are mandated to digitize historical patient records and integrate their diagnostic systems into a unified national health database. The framework stipulates that while large tertiary medical institutes must achieve complete system integration within six months, smaller primary health centers located in designated remote districts are granted a relaxed two-year compliance window alongside state-funded satellite broadband infrastructure. Crucially, the policy dictates that authorization for medical research entities to access anonymized regional health data for commercial pharmaceutical development is strictly contingent upon the respective district reaching an 80% overall record digitization threshold. Furthermore, if any participating health facility experiences a verified breach of data confidentiality protocols during its transition period, its state-backed connectivity subsidies will be immediately suspended until an independent security audit confirms complete remediation.

Which of the following statements can be logically inferred from the passage provided?
Select all correct statements.

  1. Primary health centers in remote districts receive state financial support for satellite connectivity to aid their integration into the national database network.Answer
  2. Commercial pharmaceutical research entities cannot gain access to anonymized patient data from a district where only 70% of health records are digitized.Answer
  3. C
    Large tertiary medical institutes will automatically lose state-backed internet subsidies if they fail to complete full system integration within six months.
  4. D
    The two-year compliance extension was granted because remote primary health centers lack sufficient technical staff to digitize records rapidly.

Answer

The statements confirming state support for satellite connectivity in remote primary health centers and the restriction on commercial research data access when district digitization is below 80% are the only logically valid inferences.
The correct statements directly apply facts established in the passage: first, that remote primary health centers are allocated state-funded satellite broadband to facilitate their transition; second, that commercial access to anonymized data requires an 80% district digitization threshold, making access impossible in a district digitized at only 70%.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the premise regarding remote primary health centers
The passage states remote primary health centers receive 'state-funded satellite broadband infrastructure', validating that state financial support for satellite connectivity is provided.
Direct text deduction confirms state support for remote center connectivity infrastructure.
2
Evaluate the condition for commercial data access
The policy requires a minimum threshold of 80% digitization in a district before commercial pharmaceutical access is granted. Therefore, at 70% digitization, access is logically barred.
Numerical threshold logic directly dictates that 70% is insufficient to meet the 80% requirement.
3
Examine the grounds for subsidy suspension and reasons for timeline extensions
Subsidies are suspended only for verified confidentiality breaches, not integration delays. Additionally, specific reasons for the two-year extension (such as IT staffing shortages) are not stated in the passage.
Distinguishing explicit conditions from misread details or external assumptions eliminates invalid statements.
