Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha announced on Monday that the state government has allocated land for the establishment of a private super speciality hospital in Khayerpur, West Tripura. The hospital will be set up by the Shija Hospitals and Research Institute (SHRI), an Imphal-based healthcare entity. Speaking at a government programme, Saha said, “We have arranged land for SHRI to set up a super speciality hospital. They have assured an investment of ₹700 crore to enhance healthcare services in the state.”
In September, SHRI expressed interest in expanding its healthcare services to Tripura. The state government views this as a key step in improving modern medical facilities for its citizens. During the launch of the STAR-NCD project at Karl Landsteiner Auditorium in Agartala, Saha reiterated the government’s focus on healthcare. “We are committed to providing better and modern health services to the people. The state health department is working on various projects to expand and develop these services,” he said.
The STAR-NCD initiative, part of ICMR’s National Health Research, focuses on improving diagnosis and treatment for non-communicable diseases by strengthening ambulatory care services.
