| A health village is to be established in Elavur, near Chennai, to serve as the hub for medicare and medical research in South Asia. It is a joint venture between Frontier Lifeline Hospital and the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO).
A memorandum of understanding, formalising the Rs. 450-crore project, was signed by representatives of the organisations on Wednesday in the presence of Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi.
Frontier Lifeline was represented by its founding chairman K.M. Cherian, and TIDCO, by its Managing Director S. Ramasundaram.
Electricity Minister Arcot Veeraswamy and Health Minister M.R.K. Panneerselvam were present along with Chief Secretary L.K. Tripathy.
The entire project will be completed in three phases over the next five years. Frontier Mediville, as the village is called, will also have a state-of-the-art national medical science park, which will facilitate research in basic and applied sciences, a multi-speciality 1,000-bed hospital, units of Indian systems of medicine, a vendors’ park and a medical university.
First of its kind
K.M. Cherian, founding chairman, Frontier Lifeline Hospitals, said it would fall under the category “bio-hospital,” first of its kind in the country, an emerging concept that combined clinical practice with regenerative medicine and basic sciences enhanced with holistic therapy. Frontier Mediville would also have a ‘Sterile Biomedical Corridor’ to facilitate manufacture of consumables, disposables and pharmaceutical products required for in-house hospital and research facilities.
