A Nation With A Spiritual Force Like Mata Amritanandamayi Is Certain To Rise: PM Modi On Inauguration Of Amrita Hospital

"The entire world reveres her [Mata Amritanandamayi] but I've been especially fortunate that I have received Pujya Amma's affection and blessings for the past many decades", said PM Modi during his address on the inauguration of a hospital in Faridabad, Haryana, built by Mata Amritanandamayi's foundation.

"I've felt the simplicity of her heart and her vision for country. And hence, I can say that a nation with a generous and committed spiritual force like Amma is certain to rise".

Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya and Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar were also present on the occasion.

The 2,600-bed private hospital here is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including a centralised fully-automated laboratory, in what will be a major boost to healthcare infrastructure in the National Capital Region (NCR).

The state-of-the-art Amrita Hospital, built on a sprawling 130-acre campus with sustainability in mind, has a dedicated seven-storey research block and has been constructed over a period of six years under the auspices of the Mata Amritanandmayi Math.

The new super-speciality hospital has opened initially with 500 beds and is expected to be fully operational in a phased manner over the next five years. Once fully operational, the hospital with 81 specialities is billed to be the largest private hospital in Delhi-NCR and the country, its officials had earlier said.

The hospital buildings will span 36 lakh sq. ft in built-up area, with a 14-floor tower housing key medical facilities. There is also a helipad on the rooftop.

The new mega hospital in Faridabad's Sector 88, near the Delhi-Mathura road, has a built-up area of one crore sq. ft and the campus will also have a medical college. A dedicated seven-storey research block and eight centres of excellence, including on gastro-sciences, renal sciences, bone diseases and trauma, transplants, and mother and child care, are located on the campus.

The hospital has patient-centric wards and OPDs and a hi-tech, fully-automated centralised laboratory.
