1,000 bedded hospital on the cards.

If the Indo-UK Institute of Health and the State government plans fructify, a world-class 1,000-bedded hospital is likely to come up across the Outer Ring Road (ORR) with both parties deciding to have a memorandum of understanding for the project.

The 1,000-bedded hospital which will be fully foreign funded and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had agreed to provide suitable site along with the basic amenities when a delegation from the institute led by its chairman Mike Parkar, CEO Ajay Ranjan Gupta and others met him at the camp office recently.

The institute is a consortium of UK and India-based promoters and will be developing a chain of 11 Indo-UK Institutes of Health across India, which aim to bring the UK’s finest NHS Hospitals, educational institutions and universities to the country. This was agreed upon in an MoU signed between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and British Prime Minister David Cameron during the former’s UK visit last year.

The delegation is meeting State government heads towards setting up of close to 11 centres of excellence in health care, a press release from the CM’s office said.
