Leader YSRCP and MLC Botcha Satyanarayana.
If YSRCP gets to power, we will withdraw the model of PPP developing medical faculties in Andhra Pradesh, says opposition leader in the legislative council of Botcha Satyanarayan.
Before, on Wednesday, he introduced a strike from the Council on Wednesday, said that the government should not privatize health and education and consider them social security instead of looking at them for business activities.
He spoke a short discussion about the discussion of government policy at medical faculties and the opening model of PPP Palakoll, Bapatla, Penuond, Narsipatnam and Parvatathipuram.
The Minister of Health, Family Care and Medical Education Satya Kumar Yadav said that each university is assumed that it will offer 150 UG chairs and 24 PG chairs of 1,500 Ug and 240 PG seats across institutions.
He said that the previous (YSRCP) government in 2020-21 sanctioned 17 medical faculties with a total estimated investment of 8,480 Crore. Of these, several universities started the activities of the academic years 2023-24 and 2024-25. The remaining 10 universities could not launch operations during the YSRCP Government term, the Minister said.
“Only 1,550 GBP Crore, ie 15% of the 8,480 GBP crore, was spent by June 2024.
After realizing that the current approach could not be completed in a reasonable period, the state government decided to develop them through the PPP model, he said.
The model was chosen to take advantage of the efficiency of the private sector, reduce the financial burden on the treasury and increase the quality of tertiary health care and medical education, the minister added.
Mr. Satya Kumar said that four Faculty of Medicine-Pulivendula, Madanapalle, Markapur and Adoni-Budou offered to the annual model of the concession fee according to the model-finance-finance model (DBFOT). Selected candidates would operate existing equipment on the basis of AS-IS-WHERE-IS, upgraded them according to the National Medical Commission (NMC) standard and made universities in operation within one year.
“The concession period is 33+33 years under DBFOT, including construction,” the Minister explained.
In the first phase, the agreement would apply for 33 years and the second phase of the next 33 years would be extended depending on mutual understanding, he said.
Mr. Satyanarayana opposed this particular clause and introduced an internship from the Council.
Meanwhile, during the discussion, the chairman of K. Moshen Raju was looking for an clarification from the Minister whether it would be a 66 -year agreement. The Minister explained that there are several such PPP projects throughout the country, including medical faculties.
