During his visit, CM Adityanath highlighted the importance of enhancing the quality of research, innovation, and technical skills among medical professionals to improve the overall healthcare system. His remarks came as he distributed 483 laptops to MBBS students and paramedical staff under the Swami Vivekananda Youth Empowerment Scheme, a move aimed at advancing digital education and resources in the medical field.
CM Adityanath announced the establishment of new medical colleges in Ballia and Balrampur, with plans to inaugurate academic sessions in Shamli and Sambhal later this year. These developments are part of a broader strategy to increase the number of medical institutions and improve access to quality healthcare across Uttar Pradesh.
