Goa's ESI Hospital in Margao to Boost Medical Education

Goa's Chief Minister, Pramod Sawant, expressed his appreciation towards the Central Government for acknowledging the state's request to consider the ESI Hospital in Margao as a potential site for a new medical college.

Currently, the Panaji-based Goa Medical College is the only government-run medical institution in the state. Sawant took to the social media platform X to convey his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Union Minister for Labour & Employment, Mansukh Mandaviya, for their positive response to the proposal.

The inclusion of ESI Margao Hospital in North Goa as a prospective location signals a significant step in strengthening the region's healthcare infrastructure. This initiative not only aims to expand medical education opportunities but also promises improvements in healthcare services across South Goa.
