The central govt will provide funds on the recommendations of Niti Aayog.
The proposed hospital, with talent at par with AIIMS, will further strengthen the health and medical education ecosystem in the Chandigarh region. The project was first mooted in 2024 during the visit of the Union Home Secretary to Chandigarh. The Union Home Secretary directed the administration to work on projects promoting Chandigarh as a hub for regional and national-level healthcare.
The UT administration initially proposed a major expansion of the GMSH-16.
In response, the Centre asked the UT to work on a more long-term vision and develop a 'centre of excellence' along the lines of AIIMS.
Thereafter, the UT prepared the proposal, and discussions were held at the level of Niti Aayog. The health facilities in the UT not only cater to residents of the city but also to adjoining areas of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand, and far-flung areas.
The Niti Aayog meeting was held to discuss strengthening the existing healthcare infrastructure in the UT and to decongest the present govt hospitals in the city.
In the city's neighbourhood, plans for the development of major healthcare infrastructure are yet to be fully implemented. For instance, the Medicity in New Chandigarh is yet to take off fully.
2000-bed facility
The hospital is planned to be a 2000-bed facility and will be the second-largest hospital in Chandigarh after PGIMER.
A
s per the initial plans for the hospital, it will have a 500-bed emergency, general hospital, day care centre, and geriatric centre. There will be a 500-bed advanced mother and child centre, a 300-bed critical care, trauma, and burn unit, and a 300-bed super specialty block, including an advanced neuroscience centre, advanced cardiac centre, advanced GI and liver centre, and advanced renal and dialysis centre.
Additionally, there will be a 200-bed mental healthcare centre, including a drug de-addiction centre, and a 200-bed advanced communicable and non-communicable disease centre.
"Apart from this, an integrated clinical and public health laboratory, advanced imaging and diagnostic facility, and an academic block where the examination cell, telemedicine hub, conference hall, and other facilities will be located. An administrative block will be built separately," said a UT official. MSID:: 121627918 413 |

UK hubs for exploited migrant carers are of little help
A major UK initiative to match thousands of exploited migrant care workers with employers has helped less than 4% find jobs, according to a Freedom of Information request, casting doubt on the government's efforts curb the industry's reliance on new employees brought in from abroad. More than 28,000 migrant care workers whose visas were tied to their employer had to be referred to government job-finding 'hubs' between May 2024 and April 2025, according data released by the Home Office in response to an FOI from charity the Work Rights Centre. That was after they lost the job they were supposed to fill when UK Visas and Immigration officers discovered more than 470 employers were exploiting staff and revoked their licenses to sponsor overseas workers. But just 941 of those so-called 'displaced' migrant staff signposted by UKVI for support, or 3.4%, reported finding alternative employment. The small proportion who've been helped calls into question the government's plan to bring down job vacancies in social care by utilizing the pool of displaced workers, after it banned recruitment of overseas social care staff last month in an effort to reduce immigration. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Crossout 2.0: Supercharged Crossout Play Now Undo 'After Covid, England desperately needed more care workers, and thousands of people from around the world answered that call in good faith,' said Dora-Olivia Vicol, chief executive of the Work Rights Centre. 'But instead of jobs they got scams, and instead of justice they got a referral to a program that simply doesn't work as intended.' (Join our ETNRI WhatsApp channel for all the latest updates) She urged the government to 'rethink their approach' to migrant care workers by fully reforming the Health and Care Worker Visa so it isn't dependent on employer sponsorship. Live Events You Might Also Like: A UK industry is still able to hire foreign workers under visa clampdown The Home Office has previously said 10,000 of the 40,000 who were displaced had found alternative work. A spokesman said the FOI figures 'do not provide a complete picture and workers were initially under no obligation to report their employment outcomes back to their regional partnership.' 'Over 900 workers have been directly matched into new employment thanks to the international recruitment fund and thousands more are being supported through our regional partnerships with CV writing, interview techniques and signposting,' the spokesman said. 'Since April employers wanting to recruit migrant care workers need to first consider recruiting from the pool of displaced workers - getting them back to work, into fulfilling careers and boosting productivity.' The Health and Care Worker Visa route was introduced by Boris Johnson's government in 2020, as the number of vacancies in the social care sector — which looks after the elderly, sick and disabled — soared due to Covid-19, Brexit and an aging population. Employers were given a fast-track route to recruit staff from abroad by applying for licenses from the Home Office to sponsor workers. But few checks were done on the businesses who became licensed to be sponsors. Bloomberg found evidence of businesses charging overseas workers tens of thousands of pounds for the opportunity to come to the UK, while some paid their workers too little, overworked them or gave them no hours at all. You Might Also Like: UK tightens student visa rules: Shorter stays, stricter checks, fewer perks The migrants couldn't quit their jobs, and in many cases were too afraid to report their employer, since their right to stay in the UK was tied to their continued employment with that business. But UKVI began investigating and revoked at least 471 employers' sponsorship licenses. That meant around 40,000 migrant staff employed by those businesses could no longer work, and were left looking for an alternative employer. This pool of workers was one reason that Prime Minister Keir Starmer felt able to announce last month plans to ban British care businesses from recruiting overseas workers. Under pressure from the growing popularity of Nigel Farage's anti-migrant Reform UK party, Starmer has been looking for ways to reduce net migration into the country — almost 700,000 people have entered the UK on Health and Care Worker Visas over the last five years. But matching those people with jobs is proving to be harder than expected. Emails sent out to displaced workers urging them to visit their local recruitment hub have in many cases gone unanswered, according to one government source. Many are thought to have gone into so-called 'black market' work such as prostitution in order to make a living, according to another government official. In other cases, employers have rejected workers applying through the hubs because their English language isn't satisfactory, or they fail other requirements.

Some businesses looking for workers said it had taken months to speak to anyone at the hubs, she said. 'What we're hearing from lots of people is that they're not replying to emails. There doesn't seem to be a sense of urgency — and of course the clock ticks for the displaced workers, they've got 60 days to find another job, otherwise they get deported.'
