Virinchi Healthcare to invest 200 Cr in state; plans two super specialty hospitals
Guwahati, Feb 26: Virinchi Hospital Group has announced plans to invest Rs 200 crore to establish two hospitals in the interior regions of the state, with a special focus on tribal areas. The project, which was unveiled at the Advantage Assam 2.0 summit, aligns with the state's vision of equitable healthcare access. According to Madhavi Lata, chairperson of Virinchi Healthcare, one of the hospitals will be a 500-bed super specialty facility, initially starting with 250 beds and expanding within five years. The group has already signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the project, ensuring a significant step toward enhancing Assams medical facilities. A unique aspect of this initiative is the provision of cashless treatment for underprivileged patients. "We will allocate 100 beds for the common man, where treatment will be cashless, just like in government hospitals," said Madhavi Lata. "Initially, 50% of the beds will be reserved under this scheme, which will later be extended to 100%.
