The New Town Kolkata Development Authority (NKDA) is mulling a plan to utilize a plot sanctioned for an urban community health centre (UCHC) in Action Area I for the same. 

The authorities are likely to set uan 8-10-storey multi- speciality hospital on the plot. However, NKDA’s plans are subject to approval from the state  government.

"Even though a number of private hospitals are coming up, we have been receiving feedback from several New Town residents that there was a lack of a govt-run hospital in the township and the private hospitals that are coming up were not multi-speciality hospitals. Keeping this in mind, we plan to develop a multi-speciality hospital in the public sector," said an NKDA official.

NKDA authorities plan to have a multi-storied building structure for the hospital with a basement and car parking space.

"Along with the UCHC, which is supposed to be a 30- bedded facility, the plan is to have a building of around eight to ten stories," said an official.
