(a): At  present,  there  are  155  ESI  Hospitals  functioning  across  the country. List of these ESI Hospitals is placed at Annexure-I.

(b): ESI Corporation in its 163rd meeting held on 4th December 2014, has revised the norms for setting up ESI Hospitals based on minimum number of IPs, which are as under:

|   Sl. No. | No. of beds         | Min. No. of IPs   |
|-----------|---------------------|-------------------|
|         1 | 100 bedded hospital | 50,000            |
|         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          | 3,50,000          |

|    | hospital            |          |
|----|---------------------|----------|
|  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. (c) & (d): Under  expansion  plan,  ESI  Corporation  is  working  to  make provision of medical services including setting up of ESI Hospitals in newly implemented area and in small cities. List of new ESI Hospitals approved in principle is placed at Annexure-II.
