Kolkata, 25 August (APAC Media): The Adani Group has announced plans to establish a 2,000-bed hospital in New Town, near Kolkata.
According to the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Suvendu Adhikari, the hospital will have 2,000 beds, of which 1,000 will be offered free of cost to economically disadvantaged patients. The remaining 1,000 beds will operate on a commercial basis.
The proposed hospital builds on the group’s earlier plans to invest at least Rs 2,500 crore in a healthcare project in New Town’s Action Area II. Earlier reports had suggested that the broader development could include a superspecialty hospital along with medical education infrastructure.
The project is expected to be one of the largest private healthcare developments in West Bengal. It would also strengthen access to advanced medical services in eastern India.
The proposed model, under which 50% of hospital beds would be allocated for free treatment, could also provide a significant social healthcare component and allow the facility to sustain commercially funded services.
