Pradhan Mantri Swasthya
Suraksha Yojana
The Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha
Yojana (PMSSY) aims at correcting the imbalances in the availability of
affordable healthcare facilities in the different parts of the country in
general, and augmenting facilities for quality medical education in the
under-served States in particular. The scheme was approved in March 2006.
The first phase in the PMSSY has two components - setting up of
six institutions in the line of AIIMS; and upgradation of 13 existing Government
medical college institutions.
It has been
decided to set up 6 AIIMS-like institutions, one each in the States of Bihar (Patna ), Chattisgarh (Raipur ),
Madhya Pradesh (Bhopal ), Orissa (Bhubaneswar ), Rajasthan (Jodhpur ) and Uttaranchal (Rishikesh) at an estimated
cost of Rs 840 crores per institution. These
States have been identified on the basis of various socio-economic indicators
like human development index, literacy rate, population below poverty line and
per capital income and health indicators like population to bed
ratio, prevalence rate of serious communicable diseases, infant mortality rate
etc. Each institution will have a 960 bedded hospital (500 beds for the medical
college hospital; 300 beds for Speciality/Super Speciality; 100 beds for ICU/Accident
trauma; 30 beds for Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and 30 beds for
Ayush) intended to provide healthcare facilities in 42
Speciality/Super-Speciality disciplines. Medical College will have 100 UG intake besides
facilities for imparting PG/doctoral courses in various disciplines, largely
based on Medical Council of India (MCI) norms and also nursing college
conforming to Nursing Council norms.
In addition
to this, 13 existing medical institutions spread over 10 States will also be
upgraded, with an outlay of Rs. 120 crores (Rs. 100 crores from Central
Government and Rs. 20
crores from State Government) for each institution. These institutions are Government Medical College, Jammu,
Jammu & Kashmir, Government

In the

cost for each AIIMS-like institution is Rs. 823 crore. For upgradation of

each.
In the third

college institutions namely Government Medical College, Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh; Government Medical College,

The project
cost for upgradation of each medical college institution has been estimated at
Rs. 150 crores per institution, out of which Central Government will contribute
Rs. 125 crores and the remaining Rs. 25 crore will be borne by the respective
State Governments.
It is hoped
that consequent to the successful implementation of PMSSY, better and
