Valsad: PM to inaugurate multi-speciality hospital in tribal taluka today

“Our aim is to give the best treatment to the people… We have tie-ups with a group of Indian-origin physicians based abroad who will visit our centres… In Dharampur people have to travel 45 kilometres to Vapi or 30 km to Valsad for medical treatment,” an ashram source said.

Patients from interior villages are picked up and taken to hospital from where they are dropped back after treatment. The tribal-dominated Dharampur taluka has 108 villages with a population of around 2.45 lakh.

The hospital has six hi-tech operation theatres, a pediatric ward for children, 24X 7 medical and diagnostic services, an NICU for infants and sensory garden for developmental disability.
