UP govt announces 1,000 hospitals under PPP mode
Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government is planning to construct around 1,000 hospitals under public-private-partnership (PPP) mode to provide good healthcare facilities to people, Health Minister Sidharth Nath Singh said.
He said that leading consulting firm Ernst&Young has been asked to prepare a detailed project report.
"This will be an extension of the central government's Ayushman Bharat scheme," Singh said.
"We are in the process of identifying two community health centres in each district. Their land, about three acres each, will be given on a long-term lease to private company which will construct a 100-bed hospital, along with an operation theatre and diagnostic centre," he said.
The project is likely to begin from November this year.
The minister said that he will move a proposal in the cabinet to set a basic minimum module (BMM) for filling posts of doctors in district hospitals.
