Maharajganj, Sambhal to get medical colleges soon
Lucknow: As part of its efforts to start medical colleges on PPP model in 16 districts of UP which do not have a single one till date, the state government would set up medical colleges in two districts soon.
In the first phase, private partners for Maharajganj and Sambhal, which are two of the 16 unserved districts, have been finalised. As many as 21 applications were received for the two colleges.
The other unserved districts are Baghpat, Ballia, Bhadohi, Chitrakoot, Hamirpur, Hathras, Mahoba, Mainpuri, Mau, Rampur, Sant Kabir Nagar, Shamli, and Shravasti.

An official statement said that the private partners will develop a minimum 100-bed medical college in Maharajganj and Sambhal while the state government will disburse fiscal incentives as per the policy. Officials at the medical education department said that for the remaining districts, process for bidding and selection is underway.
Once operational, the two hospitals will add at least 200 doctors to the medical workforce annually and generate at least 1,300 jobs as direct employment. It will increase the bed availability by at least 100 beds in Maharajganj and 300 beds in Sambhal.
The presence of a medical college in these districts will bring specialized secondary care and tertiary care services closer to the citizens, reducing travel time for advanced treatment to nearby big cities by almost three hours.
