Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda disclosed this in a written reply to Congress MP Shantaram Naik in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, noting that setting up of AIIMS in Goa is not yet approved.
He also clarified that it is for the State government to provide free land and other infrastructure for setting up such an institution in the State.
“The respective State Government is solely responsible to identify locations/sites by taking into account the relevant aspects and to provide land measuring approximately 200 Acres free of cost for setting up of AIIMS-type Super-Specialty Hospital-cum-Teaching Institution.
“The State Government has also to undertake to provide other infrastructure such as suitable road connection, sufficient water supply, electricity connection of required load and regulatory / statutory clearances,” the minister said.
Expenditure to be incurred on various components of the institution depends upon the surveys, studies and formation of project reports, he added.
