Pune's Maternity Hospitals Strain Under Lack of Doctors,
Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government has announced plans to provide specialist doctor consultations at Community Health Centers (CHCs) across the state under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. The initiative, slated for launch in the 2025-26 financial year aims to enhance healthcare accessibility.
Medical Dialogues had previously reported that to strengthen telemedicine services in the state, the Uttar Pradesh government is planning to introduce a scheme under which people, especially those living in far-flung areas, can seek medical consultations by simply dialling a number. Under the scheme, the state is being divided into five clusters and control rooms will be established in five prominent cities, Health Minister Sidhartha Nath Singh said here.
