UP CM Adityanath distributes appointment letters to 1442 staff nurses, emphasises their role in patient's wellness

Handing over appointment letters to newly selected 1,442 staff nurses at an event organised at Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute (SGPGI), the CM congratulated them and said, "This is a crucial area. You will all agree that a strong medical system is crucial for good health, just as a strong educational system is for any civilised society."

He said that the programmes that the government runs without discrimination have resulted in the changes that have occurred in the state over the past six years. "In 2017, the state had a total of 12 medical colleges. Between 2017 and 2022, medical colleges have either already been built or will be built in 63 districts of the state," he said.

Asserting that the goal of 'one district, one medical college' will be realised soon, Yogi said, "With PM Modi's vision and leadership, medical colleges will soon be available in every district of the state. Where it is not possible, we recommended that medical colleges be built there using the Public Private Participation (PPP) model because medical colleges are the best medium for specialised medicine."

He said, "During COVID, we observed that the districts about which we had previously thought about how this work would be done, were also able to produce equally good work when they were connected with SGPGI, KGMU and RML through tele-consultation. There is no shortage, all that is needed is direction."

The CM said that it was once said about UP that medical colleges would not be built here, whereas today medical colleges are being built in every district today and nursing colleges are also opening up.

He also highlighted the fact that Mission Niramaya, which the UP government began in October last year, is now being carried out across the nation.

Drawing a comparison between the previous government and the present government, Yogi said, "When we came in 2017, the unemployment rate was around 19 per cent. Today, it has come down to around 3 to 5 per cent."

He pointed out six lakh government jobs were provided in the state in the last six years. "Efforts were made to connect every person with jobs and employment in a transparent manner without any discrimination. We have decided that every year one lakh government jobs and 12 to 15 lakh jobs in the private sector will be made available to the youth of the state," he said.

While recalling an incident during the Global Investors Summit incident, the CM said, "During GIS, when a team went to the US, an investment for a charitable project came to them from UP's residents in the US. We advised them to visit UP once to view the image. They arrived here, and we introduced them to the PGI director; they will now make a contribution of Rs 500 crore."

The Chief Minister urged the newly selected nurses to discharge their duties with full dedication and commitment.

Stressing that their care and behaviour with patients play a big role in the recuperation of patients, Yogi said, "It helps to complete half of the patient's treatment. You have to deal with the patient like a psychologist."

In an apparent dig at the previous governments, he said, "I am very happy to see that after 16 to 17 years the recruitment process has been done in Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) hospital. People had forgotten that RML is also in UP."
