Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav stated that bringing revolutionary changes in health services across the state is the government's intent. The government is implementing multi-level reforms to modernise health services and expand medical education. He directed efforts to maximize Ayushman Scheme coverage by empaneling more hospitals and doctors, accelerating doctor recruitment, and engaging private doctors at primary and community health centers with appropriate incentives.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav reviewed schemes, programs, and activities of the Public Health, Medical Education, Food, and Drug Administration departments at Mantralaya. He instructed retaining bonded doctors, who received government-funded medical education, for service in Madhya Pradesh—especially in tribal and remote areas, offering attractive incentives. Bond doctors should be promoted, their pay revised, and deployed in new medical colleges and field hospitals. He emphasised strengthening delivery systems for timely beneficiary benefits, field-level sensitivity and coordinated implementation.
Deputy CM Shri Rajendra Shukla (Public Health & Medical Education), Minister of State Shri Narendra Shivaji Patel, Chief Secretary Shri Anurag Jain, and Additional Chief Secretary (CM) Shri Neeraj Mandloi attended.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav congratulated the department on the rapid establishment of new medical colleges and praised government hospitals for conducting over 84,000 low-cost cardiac surgeries in the past two years. He directed strict control on unnecessary C-sections in private hospitals and 108 ambulance drivers, forcing patients to private facilities. He lauded body donation honours for 38 deceased, urging widespread promotion, and noted recruitment rule amendments for bond doctors to be placed in the Cabinet soon.
Deputy CM Shri Shukla outlined CM-Care scheme integration and targets: complete government medical colleges in Rajgarh, Mandla, Chhatarpur, Ujjain, Damoh, Budhni; finish PPP-mode colleges; develop one district as medical tourism hub; install cath labs in all divisional headquarters; reduce maternal mortality to 100 per lakh live births. FSSAI approved Rs 41.07 crore for 2025-26 food administration; Rs 211 crore 5-year drug plan sent to CDSCO, with capital works in 3 years.
