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
