Goa Health Minister Shri Vishwajit Rane has confirmed that the long-pending Tuem Government Hospital in Pernem taluka will be made operational by January 30, bringing clarity after repeated delays that have triggered public criticism across the region.
The assurance was given in the Goa Legislative Assembly during Zero Hour after Mandrem MLA Jit Arolkar raised concerns over the prolonged delay in commissioning the facility, despite major construction already being completed. He sought clarity on when the Goa State Infrastructure Development Corporation would complete the remaining work and when the hospital would be opened as a fully functional healthcare centre.
Vishwajit Rane informed the House that the project was in its final stages and that steps were being taken to ensure the hospital becomes operational with the required infrastructure and medical services in place. The government reiterated that all remaining formalities and works would be completed in time to meet the January 30 deadline.
Once operational, the Tuem Government Hospital is expected to provide critical secondary and emergency medical services, significantly reducing the need for residents of Pernem taluka to travel long distances for treatment and easing pressure on other hospitals in North Goa.
