Amaravati: In order to strengthen public healthcare and health infrastructure, the state government is contemplating to invest Rs 16,203 crore for revamping government hospitals and medical colleges across the state, while 10, 000 YSR Clinics will be set up soon at village level.
At a review meeting on Naadu-Nedu on hospitals here on Friday, Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the proposals to establish 10,000 YSR Health Clinics (sub-centres) at every village secretariat should be expedited.
The Chief Minister sought details on the development of village clinics, primary healthcare centres, community health centres, area hospitals and district-level hospitals under the Nadu-Nedu programme.
To control the spread of Covid-19 and to provide better medical facilities round the clock at the village level, the existing -ub-centres are going to be revamped as YSR Health Clinics.
Apart from the existing 1,086 sub-centres, additionally, 10,000 more clinics are going to be established with a budget of Rs 2,026 crore. In regard to this, he directed the officials to identify suitable lands before June 15 and complete the project by March 2021.
Meanwhile, in connection with the establishment of new medical colleges, the state government made proposals to start seven super speciality hospitals in tribal regions and six medical colleges with attached institutions with an estimated budget of Rs 6100 Crore.
Besides these, 15 more new medical colleges and nursing colleges along with the multi-speciality institutions have been proposed. The Chief Minister asked the officials to set up one nursing college attached to one medical college across the state.
