The objectives of the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) are correcting regional imbalances in the availability of tertiary healthcare services and augmenting facilities for quality medical education.

PMSSY aims to strengthen the tertiary healthcare infrastructure and improve medical education in the country, primarily through setting up AIIMS-like institutions and upgrading existing government medical colleges.

Objective 2 (Providing universal access to public health services and universal immunization) is a broader goal of public health initiatives and schemes like the National Health Mission (NHM) and the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP), not the specific mandate of PMSSY.
