|         5 | 100 bedded ESI Hospital at Erode *                         |
|         6 | 100 bedded ESI Hospital at Vaniyambadi *                   |
|         7 | 100 beds ESIC Hospital at Dindigul. *                      |
|         8 | 100 beds ESIC Hospital at Nagercoil Kanyakumari. *         |

* allocation of funds after allotment of land/ assessment of suitability of land.

Based on ESIC norms,  the  Govt. of Tamil Nadu has been requested to send the proposal for upgradation of ESIS dispensary at Karur into 30 bedded hospital.

State  wise  list  of  hospitals  and  dispensaries  set  up  since 2014 is placed at Annexure-I.

The  State-wise  list  of  vacancies  in  ESIC  hospitals  and dispensaries is placed at Annexure-II.

A proposal for recruitment of 1930 vacancies in the cadre of Nursing Officers has been submitted to Union Public Service Commission. Necessary steps for filling up of the vacant posts of doctors and  paramedical staff  have been taken.

In some of the ESI hospitals, sanctioned beds have not been fully commissioned. There are two such hospitals in the State of Tamil Nadu.
