## NORMS FOR SETTING UP OF NEW HOSPITALS BY ESI CORPORATION

ESI  Corporation  during  its 163 rd meeting  held  on 04.12.2014 has  approved  new  norms  for setting up of ESI Hospitals based on minimum No. of IPs as under:-

|   Sl. No. | No. of beds         | Min. No. of IPs                                  |
|-----------|---------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
|         1 | 100 bedded hospital | 50,000 (15,000 for North East Region/Hilly area) |
|         2 | 150 bedded hospital | 1,00,000                                         |
|         3 | 200 bedded hospital | 1,50,000                                         |
|         4 | 250 bedded hospital | 2,00,000                                         |
|         5 | 300 bedded hospital | 2,50,000                                         |
|         6 | 350 bedded hospital | 3,00,000                                         |
|         7 | 400 bedded hospital | 3,50,000                                         |
|         8 | 500 bedded hospital | 4,00,000                                         |
|         9 | 600 bedded hospital | 5,00,000                                         |

The IP population should be taken in a radius of 25 Km and that there should not be any other ESI Hospital within a radius of 50 Km. If there is another ESI Hospital within 50 Km, then each ESI Hospital  should  fulfill  these  norms  in  the  respective  catchment  areas  (for  example,  if  the  two  ESI Hospitals are at a distance of 40 Km, then each hospital should satisfy these norms within a radius of 20 Km.

Later, the ESI Corporation in its 167 th meeting held on 18 th December, 2015 has approved that the  health  facilities  should  be  created  not  based  on  the  present  IP  population  but  on  the  basis  of projected population of the IP after a period of three years for dispensaries and five years for hospitals and also the geographical necessity.

Further,  ESI  Corporation  in  its  177 th meeting  held  on  19.02.2019,  has  given  in  principle approval for up gradation of ESI Dispensaries into 30 bedded hospitals across the country.

Such  30  bedded  ESI  Hospitals,  to  provide  curtailed  medical  care  services  to  the  20,000  IP population in a plain area or 15,000 IP in North East Region/hilly area.
