Government Think Tank NITI Aayog released its Draft “Model Concession Agreement for Setting Up Medical Colleges under Public Private Partnership” (PPP) guideline document.
As per various reports, Niti Aayog has unveiled PPP model to link new or existing private medical colleges with functional district hospital.
The suggestion will address the issues of limited resources and finances in medical education.
The model is already operative in the states of Gujarat and Karnataka.
Also, this will help to bridge the gap of shortage of doctors & nurses in the country.
According to WHO, there is only one government doctor for every 10,189 people in the country.
Also, there is shortage of 2 million nurses in India.
