5 ESI dispensaries in Kerala to be upgraded as hospitals: Dattatreya

Kozhikode, Jun 2 (UNI): Five dispensaries under Employees State Insurance Corporation will be upgraded to hospital-status soon, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Labour and Employment Bandaru Dattatreya today said.
Talking to newspersons here, the minister said, five dispensaries -- Mavoor, Chalappuram, Eranhippalam, Kunnathpalam in Kozhikode and Pappinisseri in Kannur district -- would be upgraded to six-bedded hospitals in the first phase.
Mr Dattatreya said the Labour Department would open more hospitals and dispensaries, if the state government extended support for land-acquisition for the purpose.
