30 bedded ESI hospital for every 20,000 workers, 100 bedded for every 50K: Union Labour Minister
Bhubaneswar: The Centre will be setting up ESI hospitals in every district of the country, Union Labour Minister said on 22nd October, asserting that the Narendra Modi government was committed to the well-being of the country's labour force.
Addressing a regional conference of labour ministers and principal secretaries from eastern states, he said there will be a 30-bed hospital for every 20,000 workers. "Over 450 ESI hospitals operate across the country and measures will be taken to extend the network to all districts. "There will be at least one 30-bed hospital for every 20,000 workers. For areas with 50,000 or more workers, steps will be taken to establish 100-bed ESI hospitals," the Union minister said. Asked about the possibility of establishing an ESI medical college in Bhubaneswar, he said the Centre will not be able to take any initiative in this regard.
