Announcements AMRI to invest in Bengal healthcare schemes Our Bureau
Kolkata , Jan. 10 ADVANCED Medicare & Research Institute Ltd (AMRI), said to be West Bengal's first joint sector project in the healthcare segment, on Tuesday unveiled plans to invest a further amount of Rs 200 crore on various healthcare initiatives in the next three years. Addressing a news conference here to announce the launch of a Rs 80-crore facility that will house, among other facilities, eastern India's first complete portfolio in cancer cure, Mr Manish Goenka and Mr Aditya V. Agarwal, Directors in AMRI, said plans to set up healthcare operations in the northern and southern fringes of the city were being firmed up. A feasibility study has been initiated before a foray into select districts of West Bengal can be made. According to them, it has been proposed to set up a 200-bed multi-speciality hospital in North Kolkata. This could be by way of acquisition of an existing set-up as well. Already, a cumulative investment of Rs 100 crore has been made in the joint sector company, in which the West Bengal Government has a 25 per cent equity stake. While initially AMRI started with a 175-bed hospital, a new super speciality 200-bed hospital has now been set up at an investment of Rs 80 crore. This amount has been raised by way of promoters' contribution and debt. The new facility in an annexe building houses labs for biplane cardiac catheterisation, endoscopic neurosurgery and interventional neuro-radiology.
