## MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SHRI RAMESWAR TELI)

- (a)  to (e):   Setting up of Employees' State Insurance (ESI) hospital is an  ongoing  process  and  is  based  on  the  number  of  Insured  Persons (IPs) in an area in accordance with the norms of the Employees' State Insurance Corporation. The norms for setting up of new hospitals are placed at Annexure-I.

At present, there are 160 ESI hospitals across the country including  in  the  state  of  Maharashtra  and  Tamil  Nadu,  out  of  which respective  State  Governments  run  109  ESIS  hospitals  and  51  ESIC hospitals are being run directly by ESI Corporation.  The details of the ESI hospital in the country are placed at Annexure-II.

ESI Corporation has given 'in principle' approval for setting up of new 86 ESI hospitals and new 195 ESI dispensaries across the country including 8 ESI hospitals each in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. Out of new  195 ESI dispensaries, 48 ESI dispensaries are in Maharashtra.

The Employees' State Insurance (ESI) Act, 1948 is applicable  to  the  factories  and  establishments  having  ten  or  more employees, drawing wages up to Rs.21000/- (Rs. 25,000/- for persons with disabilities).  The number of beneficiaries in Maharashtra is 1.55 crore, as on 31.03.2022.

## Norms for setting up of new hospitals:

|   Sl. No. | Number of beds      | Minimum number 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 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  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 fulfil these norms in the respective catchment area (for example, if two ESI Hospitals are at a distance of 40 km, then each hospital should satisfy these norms within a radius of 20 km.).

A  decision  has  also  been  taken  up  by  the  ESI  Corporation  for  setting  up  of  ESI  hospitals  and dispensaries based on futuristic IP population including the geographical necessity.

For setting up of 30 bedded hospital, a minimum 20000 Insured Persons required in the catchment area and there should be no ESI hospital within the radius of 25 km.

Further, a minimum 15,000 Insured persons are required for setting up of new 100 bedded hospital in Hilly area/ North East Region.
