Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday asserted that adequate advanced medical facilities, along with the Ayushman Bharat card, has made super-speciality treatment accessible to economically weaker sections struggling with medical expenses for themselves and their families. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath. (HT file) He was addressing a gathering at Jangiya Bazar on BRD Medical College Road after inaugurating the multi-super-speciality Regency Hospital in Gorakhpur. 'There is no dearth of funds for treatment. In the past one year alone, ₹1,100 crore has been disbursed from the CM Relief Fund without any discrimination or pick-and-choose policy,' the chief minister said. He said that super-speciality healthcare is now available in Gorakhpur, and common citizens are benefitting through Ayushman Bharat and the CM Jan Arogya Yojana. In cases where Ayushman coverage falls short, assistance will be provided from the CM Relief Fund or legislators' funds. The chief minister also launched the hospital's patient app 'Regency My Care' and inspected the facilities. He said that earlier, expensive treatments were beyond the reach of the poor, but are now becoming easily accessible. The new 250-bed Regency Hospital, with an 80-bed ICU, will serve patients from eastern Uttar Pradesh, north-west Bihar and even Nepal. Yogi Adityanath emphasised that the government's goal is to ensure equal healthcare access without discrimination. He recalled the days when eastern UP had very poor medical infrastructure and BRD Medical College was the only major centre in the region. He highlighted that today AIIMS Gorakhpur, new medical colleges across districts and advanced centres such as the cancer facility at BHU have transformed healthcare in the region. Dr Atul Kapoor, chairman and MD of Regency Hospital, said Regency Health was founded on the belief that world-class healthcare should not remain confined to big cities. 'With the launch of our new super-speciality hospital in Gorakhpur, we are fulfilling that vision by bringing advanced technology, specialised expertise, and compassionate care closer to the people of Purvanchal. This hospital is not just a medical institution—it is a lifeline for the entire region,' he said. Equipped with 80 ICU beds and eight modular operation theatres, the tertiary care facility offers comprehensive services across all major specialties. It also houses the region's first dedicated cardiac care unit with advanced Cath Lab, IVUS technology, and 24-hour bypass surgeons, making life-saving CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft) surgeries accessible locally. This will eliminate the need to refer critical patients to Delhi or Lucknow. The hospital is also expected to generate employment for 800–900 local people. The ceremony was attended by Gorakhpur MP Ravi Kishan, MLA Mahendra Pal Singh, Domariyaganj MP Jagdambika Pal and Gorakhpur mayor Dr Manglesh Srivastav.

"The 80-bed ICU is the biggest ICU to date. You will see in the entire hospital how all precautions have been taken, which often leads to the spread of infection. If attention is not paid to any hospital, then it can become a medium of infection. This superspeciality hospital will become an excellent centre of health care for the five crore population of this region. There is no doubt about that. CM Yogi further highlighted that the hospital will give an ease of access to high-quality facilities in Gorakhpur, for which the common man has to go to cities like Lucknow, Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, or Chennai. "Regency Hospital started its journey from Kanpur. Now they have started a chain. The facilities for which the common man has to go to places like Lucknow, Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, or Chennai will now be available to him in his own district, in his own area. This Regency Hospital is presenting the example of that," CM Yogi said.

He described the bhajans, kirtans, and Shri Krishna lilas organised in the Panchjanya Auditorium as part of the devotional atmosphere. According to a press release, while addressing the gathering, CM Yogi said that Mathura reflects 5,000 years of ancient history and devotion. The chief minister announced a new master plan of Rs 30,000 crore for the holistic development of the Braj region. He said this plan will connect pilgrimage sites like Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana, and Gokul with the memories of the Dwapar Yuga. He said, "Our government is committed to respecting the sentiments of revered saints and enriching the Braj region. We are making possible the works which were once considered impossible." He also mentioned the ropeway facility in Barsana, calling it a great relief for the elderly.
