The Uttar Pradesh government has approved a land subsidy for a 100-bed ESIC hospital in Gorakhpur, clearing a significant hurdle for the project. The hospital, budgeted at Rs 183 crore, will be built on a five-acre plot in Kalesar and is expected to serve over 80,000 workers and their families across ten districts. This development follows a campaign highlighting treatment delays for ESIC-registered employees in the region.
