Tiruchi MP Durai Vaiko has urged Union Minister of Labour and Employment Mansukh Mandaviya to upgrade the Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) Hospital in Tiruchi.
The MP has also called for the establishment of a sub-regional office of the ESIC in Tiruchi at the earliest.
Mr. Durai Vaiko called on the Minister in New Delhi on Tuesday to hand over his representations on the issues.
He said a 50-bedded hospital of the ESIC was functioning in Tiruchi, catering to ESIC beneficiaries and their families from the districts of Tiruchi, Karur, Ariyalur, Perambalur, Thanjavur, Mayiladuthurai, Tiruvarur and Nagapatitnam. However, the facilities at the hospital in terms of specialist doctors, equipment and infrastructure were inadequate.
He urged the Minister to upgrade the hospital to a 100-bedded one with requisite manpower, equipment and additional buildings to cater to the requirements of the working class of the region.
