Overview

• The Uttar Pradesh government, led by CM Yogi Adityanath, has finalized a five-year health policy framework designed to improve healthcare access across urban and rural areas.
• The policy focuses on a three-tier model: super-specialty hospitals in municipal areas, district-level general hospitals, and basic facilities in rural regions.
• Private investors are incentivized through measures like full stamp duty exemptions, discounted land rates, and fast-track approvals to establish hospitals.
• New hospitals will integrate with national and state health schemes, including Ayushman Bharat, to ensure affordable and accessible care for citizens.
• The plan emphasizes local job creation, prioritizing the recruitment of local medical staff and connecting healthcare graduates with new facilities.
