The Medical Education and Drugs Department (MEDD) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) have joined forces to prioritize health care projects with emphasis on Medical Education under the public-private partnership (PPP) model in Maharashtra.
MEDD and IFC organized an investor Conference themed around strengthening medical education and tertiary healthcare in Mumbai.
Subhash Desai, Minister, Industries, Mines and Marathi Language Department and Amit Vilasrao Deshmukh Hon’ble Minister, Medical Education and Cultural Affairs Department, inaugurated the event, where they emphasized the Government of Maharashtra’s strategic focus on health care projects, including the recently notified health PPP policy.
Given the government priority to expand health care services to ensure equitable access in its Vision 2021-2030 Strategy, PPP projects can help the state leverage the expertise and efficiency of the private sector, raise capital, and spur development in the health and medical education sector.
IFC will be the transaction advisor for the PPPs to develop super-specialty hospitals and medical education facilities across the state.
