Jharkhand to Get Six New Medical Colleges via PPP
Ranchi: The Central government has given its in-principle approval to convert six district hospitals in Jharkhand into medical college hospitals through a public-private partnership (PPP) mode. This announcement was made by Sudivya Kumar, the state minister for higher and technical education, following a meeting with Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda in New Delhi on Wednesday.
In an announcement made via his official X account, Kumar stated that a proposal was submitted to Nadda to convert Sadar hospitals in Dhanbad, Deoghar, Khunti, Giridih, Jamtara, and East Singhbhum (Jamshedpur) into fully functional medical colleges through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. The initiative aims to expand access to tertiary healthcare and meet the growing demand for medical professionals in the state.
"During the discussion, Kumar advocated for swift approvals and financial assistance from the Centre to facilitate the timely implementation of the projects, highlighting that these medical colleges would not only enhance healthcare delivery but also generate opportunities," read a statement from his office, reports TOI.
