Union Minister visits facility, heaps praise on the healthcare providers
Union Minister of State for Labour and Employment Santosh Kumar Gangwar, who felicitated COVID-19 warriors at ESIC Medical College, Sanathnagar, on Monday, said that the college is functioning as a role model for medical education.
A super speciality hospital, too, is located on the same premises where patients suffering from various ailments, including COVID-19, are attended.
Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha was the chief guest at foundation stone laying ceremony. According to the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the four-storied, 100 bedded hospital will be built over an area of five acres and will provide services covering 23 specialities and three super specialities. The facility will come up at an expenditure of Rs 160 crores and is expected to be completed in the next one and a half years. Besides covering registered Insured Persons (IPs), the healthcare facilities will also be available to the general population. Speaking on the occasion, Gangwar said that ESIC has been working for the past 66 years and has a presence in over 80 per cent of the districts of the country. He said that Srinagar has around 20,000 IPs and they deserve the best healthcare as is available to their counterparts in other regions of the country.
