Outlook Industry & Economy - Medical Institutions & Hospitals States - West Bengal Ambuja Realty plans feeder hospitals Somasroy Chakraborty
Plans ahead "We plan to set up a couple of feeder hospitals for our multi-specialty hospital in Kolkata. We have already acquired land in Siliguri and plan to have another hospital in Bardhaman."
Kolkata June 3 Ambuja Realty Development Ltd (ARDL) plans to develop a couple of feeder hospitals in Siliguri (North Bengal) and Bardhaman (South Bengal) for its proposed multi-specialty hospital in Kolkata, according to Mr Harshavardhan Neotia, Chairman, ARDL. "We plan to set up a couple of feeder hospitals for our multi-specialty hospital in Kolkata. We have already acquired land in Siliguri and plan to have another hospital in Bardhaman," Mr Neotia told Business Line. The Siliguri hospital is likely to have 150-175 beds, he added. It may be recalled that ARDL had formed a joint venture — Neotia Elbit Hospital Venture Ltd — with the Elbit Group of Israel to set up a health city comprising a 1,000-bed multi-specialty hospital, biotech research centre and a medical college in Kolkata.
Land allotment
On the proposed multi-specialty hospital in the city, Mr Neotia said: "We have requested the Government for land and expect to begin work by the end of this year." The first phase of the project is expected to be completed in a couple of years and will have nearly 300 beds. According to Mr Neotia, the company also plans to develop a medical mall on the hospital premise depending on land availability. "We have requested for 24 acres and may have a medical mall depending on how much land we get," he said. The Ambuja Group already has a presence in the healthcare segment, having set up the Bhagirathi Neotia Woman & Child Care Centre, a super-specialty 83-bed hospital for women and children.
