UP Approves New Medical Colleges in Baghpat, Kasganj, Hathras

Uttar Pradesh- To improve access to healthcare services and promote medical education, the Uttar Pradesh government approved the establishment of new medical colleges in Baghpat and Kasganj districts of the states under its 'One District, One Medical College' (ODOM) initiative.
Along with this, the UP government has also approved setting up a medical college in Hathras under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. Additionally, preparations are on to upgrade the satellite centre of King George Medical University (KGMU) in Balrampur district to a full-fledged medical college. This development will be a big benefit for Purvanchal and surrounding areas, providing advanced medical care to patients from remote areas.
A meeting was also held recently in this regard, in which Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath approved the proposal of the lowest bidder to run medical colleges in Baghpat, Kasganj and Hathras under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. In the meeting, the CM highlighted that this initiative is a strong step towards building a 'new Uttar Pradesh', where quality medical care will be available to every citizen.
According to ThePioneer Media news report, these projects have been approved under the viability gap funding (VGF) scheme, which promotes the expansion of healthcare services through collaboration between the government and private sector.
Meanwhile, the CM instructed the officials to complete these medical college projects on time. Instructions were given to maintain strict quality standards in the construction and operation of these colleges.
The Government has ensured that modern facilities are provided in these institutions to enable the students to receive high-quality medical education at par with the top institutions in the country.
The establishment of these new medical colleges will not only improve health services but will also create new employment opportunities for the youth. These colleges will increase the number of doctors, nurses, paramedical staff and other health professionals in Uttar Pradesh.
