NEW DELHI, Apr 14: The Centre today proposed to private health institutions to “adopt” small government-run hospitals and replicate their “successful model”, as witnessed at the city’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, in the public sector.
“Models presented by private institutions like Sir Ganga Ram Hospital should be enunciated, elaborated and emulated. And, we want institutions like you to come and ‘adopt’, may be a small public health institution, and replicate the work done at your places,” Union Health Minister J P Nadda said here.
The minister was speaking at the 60th foundation day of the historic Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in the national capital.
“This would be the real public-private-partnership, and I am not asking you to do it full time, but as they say, just adopt one small government health institution (hospital etc) and do the same work with same efficiency there, the surgeries, clinical works, among others,” he said.
Nadda said his ministry was also “thinking on those lines”, and wanted private bodies to be a partner in nation’s growth.
The minister, applauding the work done at the Sir Ganga Ram, said, “a non-profit private health institution model like yours should be replicated elsewhere too.” (PTI)
