Plans are underway to revamp the healthcare infrastructure in Belagavi with the announcement of tender bids for the construction of a new 100-bed ESI hospital. The existing 50-bed facility in Ashok Nagar, Belagavi, in dire need of repairs, will be replaced by this larger, upgraded hospital.

The estimated cost of the project stands at 152.20 Crore, with a projected completion timeframe of 30 months. This initiative aims to enhance medical services for the community and accommodate the growing healthcare needs of the region.

These workers play a vital role in the organized manufacturing sector and consistently contribute to the ESIC fund, ensuring access to healthcare benefits for themselves and their families.
