An ESI super specialty hospital will come up in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The super specialty hospital will have 400 beds and is expected to be ready by 2025.
The Central government has sanctioned Rs 384.26 crore for the project. The facility would benefit four lakh beneficiaries.
The Central government had originally given in-principle approval for the construction of a 500 beds hospital in Visakhapatnam but as suitable land was not made available by the state government, it was decided to shrink into a 400 beds hospital.
Along with primary and secondary care medical facilities, the hospital will be equipped with specialised care with out-patient, in-patient, emergency services, operation theater, labour room, diagnostic services and facilities that fall under AYUSH.
