CM Yogi Adityanath lauds paramedics, kickstarts Mission Rozgar with 2142 new staff nurses for UP healthcare overhaul

He urged lecturers, assistant professors, associate professors and principals of colleges related to medical education to sit in OPD regularly “Prepare case studies of all the patients you see and actively encourage research in medical education,” the chief minister said.

Adityanath said under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh has significantly enhanced its healthcare services in the last 6.5 years.

In the period from 1947 to 2017, only 12 medical colleges were established in the state. Today, Uttar Pradesh has 65 medical colleges, of which many are functional, he said.

“Today, along with allopathy, traditional medicine is also being promoted in the state,” Adityanath said while pointing out the operational AIIMS facilities in Rae Bareli and Gorakhpur.

In a commitment to provide prompt and efficient healthcare, efforts to minimise the response time of ambulance services 108 and 102 have shown positive results, he added.

He said that individuals who play caste card weaken both society and the country.

“The deaths caused by encephalitis in the state before 2017 reveal such people’s true colours… Today, encephalitis is completely under control in Uttar Pradesh. Deaths due to encephalitis have decreased by 96 to 98 percent,” Adityanath said in the statement.
