Foundation stone of ESI
dispensary at Dwarka laid New Delhi, February 25 The
three-storey complex will be constructed at a cost of about Rs 80 lakh.
The existing dispensary and local office operating from rented buildings
in Palam village will be shifted to the new complex on its
completion. The central location of the complex will benefit more than
50,000 insured persons and their family members residing in the area.
The plot for the dispensary-cum-local office complex in Sector 7,
Dwarka, had been acquired earlier by the ESI Corporation from the DDA. Speaking
on the occasion, the Union Labour Minister said that the objective of
the Corporation was to provide all possible facilities nearer to the
doorstep of the beneficiary population. He said the dispensary would
have additional features for improved services, which may be upgraded to
a full-fledged health centre later on. Dr Sahib Singh also disclosed
that the ESIC super-speciality centre proposed to be setup in Delhi
would also be set up in Dwarka sub-city, keeping in view its future
potential and easy approach by road, metro and air. He said that the
ESI beneficiaries of northern states in need of super- speciality
treatment shall be referred to this proposed new facility. He also said
that there had been visible improvements in medical services under the
ESI scheme over the last one-year. Many action plans were currently
being implemented for further improvements in the system, he
said. Other dignitaries and senior functionaries present on the
occasion included Dharam Dev Solanki, MLA, Mr Baleshwar Rai, Additional
Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Mr Ajay Dua, director general, ESIC. |
