The new Super Specialty hospital will be handed over to the State government on September 30, health Minister Vishwajit Rane informed on Friday.
Rane said this after a joint inspection with Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant to review current status of the Super Specialty Block.
“HSCC shall be handing over the project to the state government by 30th September 2020 to begin commissioning the same. Our aim is to start operations at the Super Specialty Block at the earliest to provide state-of-art health facilities and infrastructure to the people of the state of Goa,” Rane said.
The 500-bed super speciality facility, being built under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), will be inaugurated by the end of this year.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid the foundation stone for the Rs 350 crore project in February, 2018.
The Union government’s Hospital Services Consultancy Corporation Ltd is executing the project.
