These things were said by Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak at the UP Health Summit on behalf of CII in Gomtinagar. Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak said that medical colleges are being opened in every district to overcome the shortage of doctors in the state. Five years ago there were 13 medical colleges in the state. Now their number has increased to about 61. Soon medical colleges will be opened in other districts. Medical colleges will be opened on PPP model. Entrepreneurs come forward in this.
The government will provide all possible help. It plays an important role in strengthening the economic development of the state. Hence there is a need for an integrated approach in this area. There is a huge potential for the private sector in this work. CII President Vinamra Agarwal said that CII is actively working with the government and industry to further the development of the healthcare sector in the state. Sharing the proactive approach of CII, he mentioned that CII has identified 4 government hospitals in Varanasi. Whose blood banks can be helped to meet the blood demand of patients comprehensively by providing financial assistance. CII also intends to work with the State Governments on the successful implementation of Ayushman Bharat based on the Public-Private Partnership model. Neelima Dwivedi, Executive Director, Public Policy Communications and Market Access, shared information about cervical cancer. He said that cervical cancer is caused by human papilloma virus. It is the second most common type of cancer found in Indian women. It is really disappointing to see that every 8 minutes in India a woman dies due to cervical cancer. However, with timely diagnosis, treatment and vaccination, cervical cancer is curable and can be prevented.
