Amaravati: A mega healthcare project with 1,000-bed capacity will be set up at an outlay of Rs 1,000 crore in Amaravati. Named as 'Healthcare City,' conceived and promoted by Indo-UK Institute of Health (IUIH), the project will comprise auxiliary units such as medical equipment manufacturing unit, medical data analytics centre, research and innovation centres.Representatives from IUIH met chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu at the makeshift secretariat in Velagapudi on Tuesday. They expressed willingness to launch the works as soon as the government allots a site to them. The delegation made a powerpoint presentation on the master concept of the world-renowned King's College Hospital in London.Following the CM's request, the delegation agreed to make AP's new capital the headquarters for all healthcare centres which they are planning to set up across India. Naidu said that making Amaravati a healthcare hub would help the state generate two lakh jobs for the local youth. He said that the auxiliary medical and health care units to be set up by IUIH would make many other companies in auxiliary medical and health care services invest in the Heathcare City."Amaravati will become the leading destination for the best healthcare facilities soon," the CM averred. He enquired about the medical and healthcare facilities available in the UK and pointed if the master concept has the support of the British government.It may be recalled that the Indo-UK Institute of Health inked an MoU with the state government last month to upgrade medical services in the capital city area. The team said that they were planning to complete the project by 2018.IUIH executives said that they were planning to establish 11 high quality hospitals, nursing schools and medical colleges in India.
