Govt finalises land for diagnostic centre

SHILLONG: The state government has informed that it has identified land at the Pasteur Institute for constructing a state-of-the-art diagnostic centre.
Health and Family Welfare Minister AL Hek on Monday informed that the Centre has sanctioned an amount of Rs 20 crore for the project. The proposed diagnostic centre will help the poor who have to spend huge amount of money on medical tests.
NEIGRIHMS will vet the project as per the direction of the Centre.
“Once the vetting is done, we will call for tender or Expression of Interest and immediately start work,” Hek said.
The state government will outsource recruitment process for the centre as the department does not have enough manpower. However, the department will require more funds for equipment and other necessities.
