Andhra Pradesh to Establish 10 New Medical Colleges Under PPP Model

The Andhra Pradesh government recently announced plans to establish 10 new medical colleges through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model aimed at strengthening the state’s public health infrastructure.

According to an official government release, these medical colleges will be developed and operated under the PPP framework to ensure speed, quality, and statewide access, complementing existing efforts to operationalize previously sanctioned institutions.

The initiative is expected to generate significant savings - around ₹3,700 crore in development costs and approximately ₹500 crore annually in operations and maintenance - by leveraging private sector efficiency and shared investment. Additionally, the new colleges will add 110 undergraduate medical seats every year for Andhra Pradesh students, expanding educational opportunities in the state.
