He said that advertisements for recruitment to these posts will be issued soon.

Recruitment will boost research activities and provide better guidance to students
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has clearly instructed that medical education in the state should not be limited only to awarding degrees, but should be linked with quality, research, and practical training. In line with this vision, there has been a historic increase in the number of medical colleges in the state over the past nearly nine years. Earlier, medical education was limited to only a few districts, but today the goal of establishing medical colleges in almost every district has been achieved. Ensuring the availability of qualified teachers and trained staff for the operation of new colleges is a top priority of the government, and this recruitment is a major step in that direction. The appointment of Assistant Professors, Professors, and Pharmacy Lecturers in government medical colleges will provide better guidance to medical students, promote research activities, and help raise the standard of medical education to national benchmarks. In the future, this will ensure the availability of skilled doctors, pharmacists, and health professionals for the state, who will provide better services to the general public.
