Tata Steel inaugurated its 100-bed, super-specialty eyecare hospital at Samarjhola village of Ganjam district in Odisha last weekend. The hospital is to be operated by Sankara Eye Hospital of Tamil Nadu.

Tata Steel funded ₹42.3 crore for the construction of the hospital infrastructure and equipment. Built over 4.5 acres of land in the village, approximately 17 km from Berhampur city, the eye hospital with world-class facilities and highly qualified doctors will offer services comparable to the best corporate hospitals at an affordable cost.

The 4-storey hospital building has 73,520 sqft built-up area with five operation theatres, 12 patient rooms and six wards. The hospital complex is environment-friendly and self-sufficient in energy and use of water.
