The Himachal Pradesh government has announced a massive ₹ 3,000 crore investment into modernizing the state’s healthcare infrastructure covering advanced diagnostics, hospital upgrades, new critical-care facilities and diagnostic overhauls across multiple institutions.
Glimpse:
The investment will fund replacement of outdated medical equipment, upgrade diagnostic capacity with MRI/CT/advanced imaging, set up critical-care blocks and expand super-speciality services (including robotic surgery) across medical colleges and hospitals in the state.
The Himachal Pradesh government under leadership of Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu announced an ambitious ₹ 3,000 crore plan to modernize the state’s healthcare ecosystem. The funding aims to overhaul public-health infrastructure, upgrade diagnostic and treatment facilities, and expand tertiary and super-speciality care across the state.
Under the plan, outdated medical equipment (some more than 30-40 years old) in state hospitals will be replaced. Advanced diagnostic capabilities are being installed including high-end MRI, CT, PET-scan machines; digital radiography; mammography; and improvements to labs and imaging archives.
Furthermore, the investment supports building new critical-care blocks and district-level labs, upgrading existing hospitals into modern facilities, and enabling super-speciality treatments including cancer care, robotic surgery (already inaugurated at one facility), and improved dialysis and emergency services.
The government says the objective is to reduce the need for Himachalis to travel outside the state for advanced treatment, enhance accessibility in remote areas, and build a resilient, modern public-health infrastructure that matches international standards.
“With this ₹3,000 crore investment, we are not just upgrading hospitals we are reimagining healthcare in Himachal, so every citizen can access high-quality diagnostics and care without leaving the state.”
