The Haryana Government has announced plans to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Medanta Hospital through the Medanta Foundation aimed at strengthening maternal and child health.
Reportedly, the MoU has initially been proposed for a period of three years, with further plans to extend the duration based on mutual agreement and satisfactory performance by both sides.
The initiative was announced by Haryana’s Health Minister Arti Singh Rao, who said, “The main aim of this partnership is to upgrade and strengthen Maternal and Child Health (MCH) services at Sub-District Hospital Ateli and Community Health Centres (CHCs) at Farrukhnagar and Mirpur.”
Commenting on the roadmap, Health Minister Arti Singh Rao stated the collaboration will operate under the public-private partnership (PPP) model.
“As per the collaboration, labour rooms and C-section operation theatre facilities will be modernised. Neonatal care, advanced diagnostic services, and ambulance support will also be ensured. Special focus will also be given to skill development and capacity building of healthcare staff,’’ Rao added.
In addition, Rao stated that the initial plans include improving CHCs in the Ateli Region, while CHCs in Farrukhnagar and Mirpur will be upgraded within six months.
Further sharing the details on the government healthcare infrastructure plan, Additional Chief Secretary (ACS), Health, Sumita Misra, said the state government has launched an execution-driven campaign to fast-track hospital infrastructure projects, strengthen monitoring mechanisms, and modernize healthcare planning.
She noted that the initiative seeks to transform routine project reviews to strict, accountability-based implementation aimed at ensuring the timely delivery of critical healthcare infrastructure and improved patient services.
“For 2026–27, the state government has made a budgetary provision of INR 815 crore for major healthcare infrastructure projects, marking an unprecedented increase of nearly 288% compared to the INR 210 crore allocated during 2025–26,’’ Misra said during a review of health infrastructure projects.
She also directed the Public Works Department (Buildings and Roads) to fix accountability in cases where projects have faced prolonged delays and instructed officials to expedite pending works at major healthcare institutions across the state.
Among the key projects under the initiative is the expansion of a Civil Hospital, Ambala Cantt, where the existing 100-bed facility is being upgraded to a 200-bedded hospital block.
