Uttar Pradesh government will soon launch new health policy to enhance hospital infrastructure across the State with focus on attracting private investment for healthcare reform. Under the new policy, 200-bed Super-Specialty Hospitals will be established in municipal corporations and 57 district headquarters. 

“Yogi Adityanath-led government is preparing to introduce a new health policy designed to develop world-class health infrastructure throughout the State. The upcoming policy will serve as a blueprint for the next five years and is intended to attract private investment in the healthcare sector. By encouraging public-private partnerships, the government aims to expand advanced medical facilities not only in urban centres but also across rural areas,” read a statement issued on Friday (May 16, 2025) by U.P. government. 

Mr. Adityanath recently held a high-level meeting, where he directed to ensure that Uttar Pradesh’s health infrastructure matches global standards. Following this, officials briefed him on the framework of the proposed health policy. 

“The policy is expected to pave the way for the establishment of super-specialty services such as neurosurgery, cardiology, and oncology in every district. Additionally, private hospitals will be integrated into key government health schemes like the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, and the Mukhyamantri Jan Arogya Yojana,” the statement added. 

The new health policy is likely to be based on three models Model A, Model B, and Model C. Model A will cover 17 municipal corporation areas. In these areas, private investment will be encouraged to set up at least three super-specialty hospitals with a minimum of 200 beds each. These hospitals will offer advanced facilities such as internal medicine, surgery, radiation therapy, oncology, maternity care,cardiology, neurology, urology and gynecology services. Model B will focus on 57 district headquarters, where 200-bed hospitals will also be established. These hospitals will provide the same advanced services as those under Model A. Model C will target rural and backward areas across all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh. Under this model, 100-bed hospitals will be set up to offer general medical care, general surgery, obstetrics, and gynaecology services.

In the proposed new health policy, the U.P. government is likely to offer major incentives to attract private investors in the healthcare sector. These include up to 100% exemption on stamp duty for land purchase, priority in electricity connections, and fast-track approvals (NOCs) for setting up hospitals.
