What does this status mean?

Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.

Original manifesto wording

“We will create a ₹10,000 crore Maharaja Shri Bhagvatsinhji Swasthya Kosh, revolutionising the healthcare sector, under which we will: • Set up 2 more AIIMS-grade institutes • Set up 3 world-class Medicities with facilities like Air Ambulance and Tele-Surgery, focusing on creating dedicated state-of-the-art Centres of Excellence for Cardiology, Neurology and Oncology • Build new and upgrade infrastructure of existing healthcare facilities (Hospitals, CHCs and PHCs) • Launch the Gujarat Cancer Care Programme by establishing accessible Cancer Care Centres in every district in a phased manner”

Our Assessment

Gujarat has funded specialist hospital facilities and delivered upgrades, including dialysis and critical-care capacity at Surat Civil Hospital in September 2026. These count under alternative budget heads. The distinct ₹10,000-crore fund, two additional AIIMS-grade institutes and three full-scope new Medicities remain unverified. District cancer-care expansion is underway. AIIMS Rajkot was a pre-manifesto project and is not counted as an additional institute.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed 18 Oct 2026

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

Upgrades and specialist-care investment demonstrate partial delivery; the fund and full institutional targets remain unverified.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

Identifiable delivery or administrative action is documented, but full scope or coverage remains unverified.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

Consolidated fund or equivalent expenditure accounting
Commissioned institutes, Medicities and district cancer centres

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
