Augmenting the state's healthcare sector, the UP government will now ensure the availability of multiple para-medical courses in all the medical institutes of the state. This will help increase the number of paramedical staff resulting in the upliftment of the medical care sector.

Multiple para-medical courses such as a diploma in operation theatre technician, diploma in optometry, diploma in orthopaedic and plaster technician, diploma in x-ray technician and many others will be offered at all the state-run medical colleges of UP districts.

For this, the medical education department has planned a total of 2,714 seats which will be available in different medical institutes of 21 UP districts during the initial phase.
