Item No.19: Project “Construction of 500 bedded hospital in Itanagar (250 beds in Phase-I)", in Arunachal Pradesh for deletion from the list of 'Retained Projects' from Priority List 2005 - 06.

The Committee noted that the project was retained on 22.01.2004 at an estimated cost of Rs.119.28 crore. The Detailed Project Report 9DPR) was received and was examined by M/o Urban Development (MoUD), M/o Health & Family Welfare (MHFW) and the Planning Commission. Their observations on the DPR of the project were communicated to the State Government for compliance on 18.03.2004, 07.05.2004 and 28.07.2004 respectively. Despite several reminders the State Government could not comply with these observations. Therefore, in a meeting under the chairmanship of Secretary, M/o DoNER it was decided that a team of officers from MoUD, MHFW, Planning Commission and M/o DoNER should be deputed for site visit and assessment of availability of referral facilities. The Team visited

23 the proposed project site, General Hospital Naharlagun and the R.K. Mission hospital at Itanagar on 11.08.2007 and recommended that:

“Considering the present status of proposed 500-bedded hospital at Naharlagun and functional Naharlagun General Hospital, it is suggested that the existing General Hospital at Naharlagun may be strengthened to 250- bedded hospital in phases, with all modern diagnostic and treatment facilities as a referral hospital of Arunachal Pradesh. Considering the population of the state and utilization of present facilities of existing beds, another 500 bedded hospital 6 kms away shall not be properly utilized and shall have no load to run the hospital.

The existing strengthening initiatives of District Hospitals under NRHM (already Rs.14 crore released to the State) also shall need specialists in District Hospitals. So the manpower situation particularly for specialists shall not be favorable to staff the proposed 500-bedded hospital with adequate specialist.

It is recommended that instead of constructing a new 500-bedded referral hospital at Nagarlagun, the existing hospitals rendering tertiary health care services i.e. General Hospital Naharlagun & R.K. Mission Hospital may be considered for further strengthening.”

After deliberations committee recommended that as per the report of the team of officers from MoUD, MHFW, Planning Commission and DoNER, who visited project site, the State Government may be advised to upgrade the existing General Hospital at Naharlagun and strengthen it to 250 bedded referral hospital, with all modern diagnostic and treatment facilities as a referral hospital of Arunachal Pradesh, in place of the existing proposal.
