UP to get 14 new Medical Colleges
Lucknow: The UP government has allocated Rs 21,000 crore for the establishment of 14 new medical colleges. The information came to light as Suresh Khanna, the state finance minister, presented the budget for the years 2022-2023 on May 26.
This announcement comes less than a month after the Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, announced the establishment of a foundation for 14 new medical colleges.
Previously Medical Dialogues reported the state cabinet of Uttar Pradesh had approved the proposal for the construction of 14 new medical colleges in the state in 2020. The proposed new medical colleges will be attached along with the existing district or referral hospitals. Once functional, at least 45 districts of the state will have the availability of a government medical college. The state is giving importance to a public-private partnership model for the rest of the districts.
With the new budget of Rs 21,000 crore, the state's medical colleges have received a much-needed financial boost, reports India Today. The government intends to improve the healthcare sector infrastructure by ensuring the availability of the workforce. The construction of 14 new medical colleges will make medical education accessible to students in their own state. Every year, a large number of medical students and applicants from Uttar Pradesh take the NEET exam. An increase in the number of medical institutes in Uttar Pradesh would give students more possibilities for pursuing medical careers.
Last year PM Narendra Modi inaugurated nine colleges in Uttar Pradesh last year, in the districts of Siddharthnagar, Etah, Hardoi, Pratapgarh, Fatehpur, Deoria, Ghazipur, Mirzapur, and Jaunpur. With the inauguration of these 9 new medical colleges, the total number of medical colleges in the State has gone up to 48. The scheme proposed 28 colleges, of which 14 were approved in the two phases. In its budget for 2022-23, the UP government outlined its five-year vision. The development of medical colleges would help not just in the advancement of medical education in the state but also would strengthen the state's infrastructure.
