Sources said that 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. The focus is on ensuring that people in villages and small towns receive quality healthcare locally, reducing the need for patients to travel long distances for treatment," they said.

Sources said that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath recently held a high-level meeting with senior Health Department officials, where he directed them to ensure that UP's health infrastructure matches global standards. "Following this, the officials briefed him on the framework of the proposed health policy," they said.
