Uttar Pradesh government is estimated to incur about Rs 14,400 crore on public healthcare.
Referring to the data of the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, International Institute of Health Management Research (IIHMR) Dean Prof A K Agarwal said in contrast the Indian private healthcare industry was expected to grow seven times in the next five years due to the surge in the healthcare sector.
He stressed the need for training hospital management personnel to keep pace with the explosive growth in healthcare sector.
He informed IIHMR had trained doctors from Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and also partnered with the World Health Organisation (WHO) in the doctors' training programmes.
"We would be submitting a formal proposal with the UP government for training their government hospital doctors and health personnel," he informed. The Institute had already worked with the Delhi government under similar programmes.
Delhi-based IIHMR runs two year fulltime Post Graduate Diploma in Hospital and Health Management.
