During the year 2004-05, the ESI Corporation sanctioned a 50 bedded hospital at Gurgaon, Haryana and 150 beds block at ESI hospital Dandeli, Karnataka.
The phase I of the ESI Hospital, Jammu (J&K) was completed and taken over as Model Hospital in March 2005. The work is in progress at ESI hospital Asramam, Kollam, Kerala.
Government of Rajasthan has requested for construction of a 50 bedded hospital at Bhiwadi. The request of the State Government has been accepted. However, in view of poor occupancy of ESI hospitals in Rajasthan and inability of the State Government to provide doctors and other staff in existing hospitals/dispensaries in general and in the diagnostic Center at Bhiwadi in particular, the State Government has been requested to confirm that necessary number of doctors and other staff will be made available upon construction of hospital at Bhiwadi.
Government of Tamil Nadu has requested for construction of 50-bedded hospital at Tirunelveli and Ranipet. While the request for construction of the hospital at Tirunelveli has been accepted, setting up of an ESI hospital at Ranipet could not be agreed to for want of adequate information/justification from the State Government.
This information was given by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Shri K. Chandrasekhar Rao in a written reply in Lok Sabha.
