Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, Himachal Pradesh is set to witness a healthcare transformation with a Rs 950 crore package from the Central government. This initiative will bolster medical infrastructure across the state, including major hospitals and the establishment of an advanced cancer institute.

Senior BJP leader and former Speaker Vipin Singh Parmar announced a significant healthcare boost for Himachal Pradesh with the Centre allocating Rs 950 crore to upgrade medical facilities statewide. This ambitious package marks a historic step in strengthening healthcare infrastructure and expanding access to advanced medical technology.

Of the package, Rs 650 crore will be directed towards equipping prominent hospitals such as IGMC Shimla, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Medical College in Tanda, Chamba, Nerchowk, and others with state-of-the-art medical equipment. Additionally, Rs 300 crore will fund an Advanced Cancer Institute in Hamirpur, envisioned to become a leading cancer treatment hub for North India.

The package includes installation of 1.5 Tesla MRI machines at key medical colleges and robotic surgery systems at Mandi and Chamba Medical Colleges. Further, 67 Model Health and Wellness Centres will open in rural areas, ensuring modern medical care reaches every village.

Parmar emphasized that this initiative will revolutionize healthcare access, allowing people to receive world-class treatment closer to home without traveling to metro cities.
