While delivering employment letters to 1,228 nurses, including 131 males, at Lok Bhavan on Sunday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath emphasized the increasing demand for Indian nurses worldwide.I recently visited Japan, where there is a significant need for Indian nurses. This also holds true in Korea and Germany. There is a perception in Europe that Indian nurses would do well.
The Chief Minister also considered how the state's healthcare system has changed over time. "Uttar Pradesh had just 17 government medical colleges between 1947 and 2017. The total was forty if the private sector is taken into account. Currently, there are more government-run medical schools than private ones. In just nine years, the total number has increased to 81," he stated.
He continued by saying that the state has gone past issues with healthcare access and governance. In the past, each district had its own mafia network, and this also applied to government agencies. "Mafias" controlled them. Since then, we have established one of these institutions in each district under the "one district, one medical college" strategy," he stated.

The Chief Minister emphasized the need to improve nursing education and proposed creating training materials in regional languages including Marathi, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, and Bangla to promote more involvement, particularly among women.
He also emphasized how top universities can improve hands-on training. Simulation labs have been set up on the grounds of organizations such as the Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences, the Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, and King George Medical University. They are attempting to guarantee that kids acquire proficiency in both academic understanding and practical abilities using these facilities, according to Adityanath.
The Chief Minister pointed out that women's empowerment and growing engagement in the workforce are reflected in the distribution of job letters during Navratri. Additionally, he highlighted advancements in eastern Uttar Pradesh, which previously had serious healthcare issues. "The healthcare system in Eastern Uttar Pradesh used to be notoriously subpar. Thousands of people died as a result of the terrible conditions, and their situation received little attention. Many people died each year from illnesses like dengue and encephalitis, he said.
Adityanath highlighted reforms, stating that around 35 ANM and GNM training facilities are now active and 31 new nursing colleges are being built. He emphasized the value of paramedical and nursing education in enhancing the provision of healthcare.If physicians are in charge of the healthcare system, nurses are its backbone. Nursing and paramedical education are given equal emphasis under this concept. Maternal and newborn mortality rates have therefore drastically decreased," he stated.
Additionally, the Chief Minister discussed the advancements made in digitizing healthcare services, extending Ayushman Bharat coverage, and enhancing access via digital health IDs and telemedicine. In order to expedite medical education, he pointed out that the majority of the state's medical schools are now connected to Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University.
Over nine lakh government jobs have been created in the state over the last nine years, he continued, making it one of the states with the highest employment rates in India.
Attendees included MLA Neeraj Bora, Lucknow Mayor Sushma Kharkwal, Minister of State Mayankeshwar Sharan Singh, Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, and other high-ranking officials.
