A further INR 46.40 crore has been allocated for the expansion of Tripura Sundari Sub-Divisional Hospital in Udaipur. The third project involves establishing a Block Public Health Unit at an estimated cost of INR 60 lakh at Udaipur Sub-Divisional Hospital.

Speaking at the event, the CM said, “The present state government is continuously implementing development projects. One of the priority areas of our government is the development of health services. There will be no compromise on this under any circumstances. In this direction, the foundation stones for three projects have been laid here today. INR 189 crore has been allocated for the implementation of these projects.”

The initiatives aim to strengthen medical infrastructure, improve healthcare facilities and enhance access to public health services for residents of Gomati district and surrounding areas.

The programme was attended by Finance Minister Pranajit Singha Roy, the Sabhadhipati of Gomati Zilla Parishad, the Chairman of Udaipur Municipal Council, Health Secretary Shri Kiran Gitte, IAS, the Superintendent of Police of Gomati district, the Chief Medical Officer of Gomati district and other dignitaries.

In earlier developments, the Tripura CM inaugurated an 18-bed ICU and a modern Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD) at the Super Speciality Block of Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC) & GBP Hospital, strengthening critical-care and infection-control infrastructure at the state’s major referral hospital.

The Super Speciality Block at AGMC & GBP Hospital has been expanded as part of Tripura’s efforts to provide advanced treatment within the state.

The hospital has been further developing specialised services and infrastructure to reduce the need for patients to travel outside Tripura for complex medical care.
