Services at UP medical colleges, institutes to be restored to pre-Covid level
Corona Cases To Be Tackled As Per Requirement
Representative Image. LUCKNOW: Following the continuous decline in the number of Covid-19 cases and active infections, the Uttar Pradesh government has directed state medical colleges and institutions to fully restore all outpatient and inpatient services.
The order issued by the chief minister’s office on Friday has to be implemented with immediate effect. “Following the decline in the prevalence of coronavirus pandemic, all outdoor and inpatient services must be restored at the earliest so that people in need can have access to the required help. The arrangements for Covid-19 care should be made as per requirement while the scope for expansion should also be kept in mind,” the order stated.
UP’s Covid recovery rate is now over 98%, with only 3,200 active cases.
Sources said the order has been passed after the CM expressed unhappiness over the slow pace of resumption of pre-Covid care facilities in medical colleges. “The CM had already told institutions to normalise regular patient care but the pace remained slow,” they added.
Principal secretary, medical education, Alok Kumar, said the CM’s order will alleviate the difficulty faced by people in accessing health services.
The order issued by secretary, UP government, GS Priyadarshi, has been sent to director general medical education and heads of SGPGI, KGMU, Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Science, Government Institute of Medical Sciences, Greater Noida, Super Specialty Pediatric and Post Graduate Institute Noida and principals of all state medical colleges and autonomous medical institutions.
