The Union Shipping Ministry has given its approval for developing a 150-bed multi-speciality hospital under public private partnership (PPP) mode at New Mangalore Port Authority (NMPA), with an estimated cost of ₹107 crore.
NMPA now has a 32-bed hospital offering OPD (out patient department) and diagnostic services to NMPA beneficiaries. The new 150-bed multi-speciality hospital will offer a wide range of medical services to treat different types of illnesses and conditions.
The project includes amenities such as ICU, advanced diagnostic facilities, multi-speciality services (oncology, cardiology, neurology and nephrology), emergency care, diagnosis, surgery and treatment under one roof.
