Punjab Govt announces a New Medical College in Lehragaga. Health Minister Dr. Balbir Singh shares plans for MBBS, Nursing, and 24/7 advanced hospital facilities.

In a landmark move to bolster the healthcare infrastructure of Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government has officially announced the establishment of a New Medical College in Lehragaga. The announcement was made by Punjab Health Minister Dr. Balbir Singh during a high-profile press conference at the Government Hospital in Lehragaga, signaling a new era of medical excellence for the region.

A Hub for Medical Education and Nursing

According to Dr. Balbir Singh, the New Medical College in Lehragaga will be developed on the existing land of the Baba Hira Singh Bhattal Polytechnic College. The government has decided to provide this land on a 66-year lease to facilitate the construction of a world-class campus.

This ambitious project will not only include an MBBS wing but will also house a dedicated Nursing College and a multi-specialty hospital. The presence of a New Medical College in Lehragaga means that local students will no longer need to migrate to distant cities for quality medical education, as professional degrees will now be accessible right in their backyard.

Boosting Local Employment and Economy

The impact of the New Medical College in Lehragaga extends far beyond education. The Health Minister emphasized that this project will be a massive driver for economic growth and job creation.

Direct Jobs: Recruitment for doctors, nursing staff, technicians, and administrative personnel.

Indirect Opportunities: Growth in local businesses, pharmacies, and student housing.

Investment: Increased interest from private investors in the region’s service sector.

24/7 Healthcare and Advanced Facilities

The proposed hospital integrated with the New Medical College in Lehragaga is designed to provide 24-hour emergency services. Dr. Balbir Singh assured residents that the facility would eventually be equipped with advanced diagnostic tools, including high-end scanning and lab testing facilities. This will drastically reduce the dependence of local residents on referral hospitals in Patiala or Chandigarh for critical care.

“Our vision is to make every region self-reliant in healthcare. The New Medical College in Lehragaga is a testament to the AAP government’s commitment to delivering top-tier health and education facilities to the common man,” stated Dr. Balbir Singh.
