Lucknow: UP health minister Jai Pratap Singh on Friday said while Covid-19 pandemic created crisis for the system and people from all walks of life, it also helped in putting several things into order.
“During the pandemic crisis, the health department accelerated the process of geo-tagging and geo-mapping of state’s hospital network to be able to monitor the performance of health professionals. This new work culture will catalyse efficiency and help in addressing problems like shortage of human resources,” he said while speaking at the third Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)-UP Health Summit.
Admitting that there was a need to increase expenditure in health sector, he said UP was making efforts in the right direction. “The state is targeting establishment of a medical college in every district with mandatory rural posting for students for the next 3-5 years to meet the shortage of doctors in rural areas. This will pay dividends in the years to come,” the minister said.
CEO, State Agency for Comprehensive Health and Integrated Services, Sangeeta Singh and managing director, UP Medical Supplies Corporation Ltd, Kanchan Verma, spoke about the role of private sector in improving healthcare access.
CII functionaries and industry body members were also present on the occasion and spoke on different facets of the changing health sector.
