The Union government is examining plans to set up a super‑speciality hospital and a paramedical college in Uttarakhand, aiming to boost advanced healthcare and training in the state.
New proposals for a super‑speciality hospital and an adjoining paramedical college have been sent to the central government for assessment, as reported by the Hindustan Times. The projects are intended to provide tertiary‑level medical care and professional training in allied health fields within Uttarakhand.
The envisaged hospital would host advanced specialties such as cardiology, neurology and oncology, reducing the need for patients to travel to larger metros for treatment. The paramedical college aims to produce qualified technicians, nurses and therapists to support the facility and the broader state health system.
Officials said the centre is evaluating financial models, site suitability and implementation timelines before granting approval. Funding could come from a mix of central grants and state contributions, with construction expected to begin once clearances are secured.
Local health officials welcomed the move, noting that the addition of a super‑speciality centre would address critical gaps in emergency and chronic care services for the hilly region.
