The Uttar Pradesh Government on 23 July 2012 cleared a proposal to set up a government-run medical college and university in Greater Noida. Also, the state government cleared a proposal to establish a superspecialty paediatric institute in Noida.
The implementation of the project is likely to incur expenses of approximately Rs 1,500 crore and would, tentatively, be completed within two years. In Greater Noida, the state government is in the process of acquiring an additional 25 acre to build the teaching facilities. The medical college is already operational on 40 acre in Greater Noida.
The Noida facility, on the other hand, will be built as the superspecialty paediatric hospital and medical university and will come up on 10 acre. It will be affiliated to the medical university in Greater Noida.
