Under the guidance of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Uttar Pradesh government has taken an important step towards strengthening the health system. For this, an amount of Rs 9.80 crore has been approved for installing modern medical equipment in 14 government hospitals of the state. The special focus of this initiative of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is on those districts where availability of modern health facilities and diagnostic equipment is less.
Patients from rural and backward areas will get special benefit of this initiative, so that they can get cheap, modern and quick treatment in their own district. Besides, this effort will also reduce the pressure of patients on super specialty hospitals of big cities.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has approved an amount of Rs 9.8 crore for the purchase of modern equipment and modernization of health services, especially in those 14 districts of the state where modern health facilities are lacking. Out of the sanctioned amount, Rs 2.70 crore has been allocated to Ramsagar Mishra Joint Hospital, Sadhamau BKT, Rs 1.52 crore to District Women’s Hospital, Balrampur, Rs 1.56 crore to District Hospital Rae Bareli, Rs 1.16 crore to District Joint Hospital Maharajganj.
Meanwhile, Rs 28.55 lakh has been sanctioned to District Joint Hospital, Baghpat, Rs 3.35 lakh to Dewan Shatrughan Singh Joint Hospital, Hamirpur, Rs 8.68 lakh to Women’s Hospital, Haraiya, Basti and Rs 38.96 lakh has been sanctioned to Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Joint District Hospital, Etawah. This amount will be spent especially in the development of health related equipment, state-of-the-art testing machines and essential health facilities.
Patients will get benefits at local level
The biggest benefits of this investment will be visible at the local level. Installation of modern diagnostic equipment in district hospitals will reduce the time of investigation and patients will be able to get cheap and quick treatment. With CT scan, X-ray and other advanced machines, immediate diagnosis of serious cases like cancer or heart disease will be possible and referral cases will reduce. Which will also reduce the pressure of patients on the central hospitals of the state capital, Lucknow and other big cities. Not only this, it will also play an important role in the development of health facilities as per the standards of WHO.
Work on Vision 2047 policy started
This step is part of the comprehensive health policy of UP-2047 vision developed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Under which the government aims to develop state-of-the-art health facilities in every district of UP. In the districts of the state where there is lack of modern health facilities, the district hospitals there have to be equipped with modern technological equipment and diagnostic facilities. So that affordable and modern health facilities can be provided to rural and poor people at the local level.
