After the successful operationalization of its smelter plant at Jharsuguda, Vedanta Aluminium Limited (VAL) has now decided to set up a state-of-the-art, multi-speciality hospital at the same location at an investment of Rs 50 crore.
Through this hospital project, VAL intends to cater to the healthcare needs of the people of western Orissa in general and the locals in and around Jharsuguda in particular. The hospital will be spread over nine thousand sq metres
.Construction work on the hospital has kicked off in June 2010 and it is scheduled to be fully operational by January 2011. Mumbai-based Hosmac India Limited, a noted company in the field of hospital planning and management consultancy, has been roped in for the design and lay-out of VAL's hospital.
The overall layout of the hospital is designed keeping in view the comfort and convenience of the patients and their attendants. Despite being a high-class hospital in terms of its structure and services, it will serve the people belonging to different socio-economic groups and especially and will be dedicated to timely and affordable medical assistance to the poor.
To ensure a highly professional approach in the running of the hospital, VAL is negotiating with healthcare majors like Apollo Group of Hospitals and Fortis. Both these hospitals are expected to operate the hospital jointly.
“VAL is already in talks with leading helathcare chains like Apollo and Fortis. If we need to provide the best health care services to the local people of Jharsuguda, we must have the professional people, who have enough expertise in the sector. We are confident, that we will soon find out a suitable partner for us. Vedanta’s intention behind conceptualizing such an innovative healthcare infrastructure is to give a new dimension to the condition of the community health in the region”, a company source told Business Standard.
