Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate Amrita Hospital in Haryana's Faridabad on August 24. The 2,600-bed healthcare institution will be India’s largest private sector hospital and opens under the auspices of the Mata Amritanandamayi Math. Mata Amritanandamayi will be present at the inauguration. Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya and Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar will also attend the function.
The hospital’s benefits will go beyond providing access to the latest in healthcare technology and high-quality patient care in the Delhi NCR. The hospital will also bring immediate support to the Faridabad area with direct employment for approximately 2,000 people and indirect staff opportunities for 2,000 more. Once fully operational, the hospital will have around 10,000 staff and more than 800 doctors.
According to Dr Sanjeev K Singh, Resident Medical Director of Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, cutting-edge medical research will be a strong thrust area. “The hospital will have a dedicated research block spread across a seven-floor building that totals three lakh sq. ft. with exclusive Grade A to D GMP labs. There will be a focus on identifying newer diagnostic markers, AI, ML, Bioinformatics etc. We are in the process of entering into research collaborations with some of the world’s biggest names in medical science,” he said.
He further said: “The comprehensive transplant programme offered by the hospital will be among the biggest in the country. Amrita Hospital, Kochi has pioneered surgeries with India’s first two double hand transplants and the country’s first upper-arm double hand transplant, amongst several other procedures, and this knowledge has been carried over to Amrita Hospital, Faridabad.”
The sprawling facility will be home to 81 specialities and seven Centres of Excellence, including oncology, cardiac sciences, neurosciences, gastro-sciences, renal sciences, bone diseases & trauma, transplants, and mother & child care.
