Shillai hospital gets Rs 3 cr for expansion

The residents of the remote Trans-Giri region in Sirmaur district, particularly the Shillai Assembly constituency, received a boost with the state government sanctioning Rs 3.04 crore for the Civil Hospital in Shillai. Industries Minister and local MLA Harshwardhan Chauhan announced the approval via social media, assuring residents that this would drive further development in the constituency.

The allocated funds will enhance patient care and expand the hospital’s infrastructure, a long-standing demand of the community. Shillai and its surrounding regions have faced challenges accessing timely medical care due to poor road conditions and the hospital’s limited facilities. The budget will be used to modernise the hospital, providing new medical equipment and increasing staff capacity.

Chauhan stressed the government’s commitment to improving healthcare services in remote areas like Shillai, aiming to reduce the need for residents to travel to urban centres for medical treatment.
