BHUBANESWAR:
The
state government on Monday decided to construct medical college and
hospitals in Gajapati and Rayagada districts in public-private
partnership (PPP) to provide super- specialty healthcare facilities in
tribal-dominated areas.
While the proposed hospitals will have 500 beds each, the medical colleges will have intake capacity of 100.
Health secretary Pradipta Mohapatra said each medical college and hospital will cost Rs 326 crore. He also said the Puri district headquarters hospital will be upgraded into a medical college and hospital. "If everything goes as planned, we will float tenders in June and start construction in October. We plan to make the proposed medical college operational in 2016," Mohapatra told the media.
The proposed medical college will have a student intake capacity of 100 while around Rs 200 crore will be spent for uplift of the hospital into a full-fledged medical college. Official sources said the project will be funded under the centrally-sponsored Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Surakhsa Yojana. The Centre and the state government would share 75% and 25% of the cost respectively.
