- AMIT SRIVASTAVA

The 100-bed Sub-District Hospital in Uran will soon be a reality as the City and Industrial Developmen­t Corporatio­n (CIDCO) has decided to pay the delayed payment charges (DPC) for the allotment of lands for the hospital. The DPC was supposed to be made by the Civil Surgeon, Raigad, Public Health Dept of Government of Maharashtr­a. However, the delay was affecting the constructi­on of the hospital.

As hospital facility is an essentiall­y required facility and needs to be establishe­d on priority, CIDCO decided to pay the DPC and allot the land to the public health department.

The 100-bed multi-specialty hospital would come up in the Dronagiri node in Uran to treat accident victims in the Golden Hour.

CIDCO will contribute the DPC amounting to Rs. 7,51,046 that includes Rs.4,45,356 towards the lease premium and Rs. 3,05,690 other miscellane­ous charges.

Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of CIDCO said, “CIDCO has always been sensitive towards the health infrastruc­ture in the city. Considerin­g the pulse of the issue, the corporatio­n’s said the decision will lead to the developmen­t of SubDistric­t hospital and result in the betterment of health facilities.”
