Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the dream of a developed India is becoming a reality. A key pillar of this vision is the healthcare sector, as a healthy nation forms the foundation of a prosperous and powerful one. With innovations, technological advancements, and quality improvements, India’s healthcare system is scaling new heights globally. Following this vision, Madhya Pradesh, under the leadership of Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, has achieved unprecedented progress in public health and medical education.
Unprecedented Expansion in Medical Education
Madhya Pradesh had just five government medical colleges in 2003. Today, the number has increased to 17 operational colleges. Three new medical colleges in Neemuch, Mandsaur, and Seoni were recently opened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Plans are underway to establish eight additional government medical colleges and 12 colleges under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model in the next two years. The state government remains committed to ensuring one medical college in every district, striving tirelessly toward this goal.
