The state of Rajasthan requires optimum infrastructure for efficient healthcare service. The states infrastructure development in healthcare has been the top most priority of the government, shares PP Mathur, Chief Engineer, Medical and Health Department, Government of Rajasthan, with Elets News Network (ENN)

The overall goal of the health sector in Rajasthan is to improve the health and nutritional status of the population, in particular the vulnerable groups. The infrastructure development projects would contribute to this goal by achieving some broad objectives.


The state government also aims to enhance the effectiveness and quality of health services at the primary and secondary levels through institutional development and increase access and equity in health care service delivery with particular focus to the underserved sections.

We also target the poor, particularly women, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes (SCs/ STs), most of whom reside in remote rural areas, inaccessible hilly terrain and in desert regions. The objective of the project will be achieved only through strengthening institutional capacity and improved health management systems; extending and renovating health care facilities at district and sub-district levels.
