PANJIM: Health Minister Vishwajit Rane on Friday said that through HSCC (Hospital Services Consultancy Corporation), the State government has given its approval and consent and the lowest bidder has been tendered for construction of the super-speciality block at Goa Medical College (GMC) and Hospital.
Addressing the media, Health Minister Vishwajit Rane said, “Through HSCC, the Goa government has given its approval and the lowest bidder for construction of the super-speciality block at GMC has been tendered. This was a long pending issue for many years.”
“I am just waiting to get a date in January from the Chief Minister and Union Minister for Health so that the foundation stone for the construction of 500-bedded speciality block at GMC can be laid,” Rane said.
Earlier, Rane had said that all the hurdles had been cleared and with the 5000 sq meters encroached area also being demolished, the government had given approval for the old plan and also intimated to the Centre so that the foundation stone can be laid and the State can go ahead with the project.
“The proposed super-speciality block will have all facilities required by the units existing in the GMC,” he had said earlier.
