Udupi: A 100-bed ESI Hospital for the district has finally given in-principal approval from the Central Government.
However, the allocation of the land for management, construction, and services is yet to be decided. According to sources, the Government of India’s Ministry for Labour and Employment has given the approval for the construction of 23 new ESI Hospitals around the country, including two that will be built in the State.
