Greater Noida: Two 100-bed paediatric hospitals would come up in the Yamuna Expressway area in the next eight to 10 months.
The Yamuna Expressway Authority has decided to allot 10,000 sqm of land each in sectors 18 and 20 to private hospitals for setting up the two paediatric facilities, officials said on Friday.
While the request for proposal will be floated soon following interests shown by two private hospitals, YEIDA has stipulated a condition that the allottees will have to complete the projects in eight to 10 months.
“The idea is to get the paediatric facility for children operational in the shortest time possible. Hence, we will give priority to those parties who would fulfil our criteria of making the hospitals operational in 8-10 months’ time,” said Arun Vir Singh, CEO of YEIDA.
Also, as part of Covid relief measures, the Authority is preparing to provide free ambulance service to villages, refill and rent oxygen cylinders for patients living in home isolation along with free medical advice through retired physicians hired on contract, from next week.
“We have created an oxygen bank in Niloni Shahpur/Mirzapur in Sector 18 and are distributing filled oxygen cylinders to villagers. We are also upgrading the primary health centres in Rabupura and Dankaur,” said Singh.
