Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin inaugurated a multi-super specialty hospital built at Rs 197.81 crore. Featuring advanced medical services, it faced criticism for unfilled medical staff positions. Amidst a warm reception, Stalin also launched buildings for health centers and distributed housing pattas and appointment orders.

In a significant healthcare advancement for Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister M K Stalin on Wednesday officially inaugurated the newly constructed Government Multi-Super Specialty Hospital, a project valued at Rs 197.81 crore.

The hospital, located on the Government Pentland Hospital premises, boasts a capacity of 560 beds across seven floors and offers a range of specialties, including gynecology, pediatric surgery, and neonatal care. Stalin had laid the foundation for this facility on August 22, 2023.

Stalin, who received a warm welcome from locals, also opened additional structures for primary health centers and addressed local needs with housing pattas and job appointments.
