Lucknow: To ensure quality healthcare through skilled human resources, the Yogi Adityanath government will restart the decades-long shut training institutes for Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) and General Nursing Midwifery (GNMs).
While chairing a high-level meeting with senior officials on Wednesday, the Chief Minister said, “There is a need to develop infrastructure facilities for better training of ANMs and GNMs and strengthen the healthcare services in Uttar Pradesh. Work on an action plan to restart the government training institutes that have been shut for the last three decades.”
He further directed that as many as 9 GNM training centres and 34 ANM Training centres should be made operational initially and strict compliance of standards should be ensured in every institution with efficient faculty.
In addition, the government will also ensure provision of the training of ANMs and GNMs in district hospitals and medical colleges.
UP to outshine Kerala as the new nursing ‘hub’
Uttar Pradesh with an increasing number of health facilities under the leadership of Yogi Adityanath will surpass Kerala, which in popular perception has been known to produce the largest number of nursing graduates.
DGME Dr NC Prajapati said that an increase in the number of nurses is needed to provide proper medical services. The previous governments did not work towards this, however, since the year 2017, the Yogi government has made dedicated efforts in this direction.
He also informed that before 2017, only three institutions KGMU, Saifai and Kanpur offered the Bsc nursing course, however, today it is being offered in 11 colleges.
