Chief Minister Manik Saha said the state will bring its government hospitals up to corporate‑level infrastructure and services, aiming to improve patient care across Tripura.
Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha announced a plan to modernise all government hospitals in the state, targeting corporate‑grade standards in infrastructure, equipment and patient services. The initiative is expected to involve substantial capital investment, with upgrades ranging from advanced diagnostic machines to improved ward designs and digital health records.
The CM emphasized that the move aims to reduce the gap between public and private healthcare, offering affordable yet high‑quality treatment to residents, especially in rural districts. He also indicated that the state will explore public‑private partnerships to fast‑track procurement and implementation.
While specific timelines were not disclosed, officials said the first phase will focus on flagship hospitals in Agartala and other district headquarters, with progress reviews scheduled quarterly. The announcement aligns with broader national efforts to strengthen public health infrastructure.
Stakeholders, including medical associations and patient groups, welcomed the proposal but urged transparent budgeting and training for staff to ensure the upgraded facilities are effectively utilized.
