(a) the total number of super/multi speciality hospitals in the country, Statewise;
(b) whether the Government proposes to construct more such multi speciality
hospitals in future in the country; and
(c) if so, the details thereof, State-wise alongwith the amount allocated for the
same?
THE MINISTER OF HEALTH & FAMILY WELFARE (SHRI GHULAM NABI AZAD)
(a) to (c): Since Health being a State subject, data in regard to number
of multi speciality hospitals in the country is not maintained centrally.
The responsibility of construction of multi speciality hospitals rests with
State Governments. However, Government of India augments the effort of the
State Governments. Government of India is setting up six AIIMS-like institutions,
one each at Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh), Bhubaneswar (Orissa), Jodhpur (Rajasthan),
Patna (Bihar), Raipur (Chhattisgarh) and Rishikesh (Uttarakhand) under Pradhan
Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY),, at an estimated cost of Rs.840 Crore
each, to provide affordable tertiary healthcare facilities and quality medical
education in the country.
