Union Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas and Housing & Urban Affairs, Shri Hardeep Singh Puri, emphasized the government’s commitment to improving the lives of the people in the North East, driven by Prime Minister Modi’s vision.

The event also saw the presence of Union Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Labour and Employment, Shri Rameshwar Teli, ONGC’s Chairman and CEO, Shri Arun Kumar Singh, and other senior officials from the Government of Assam and ONGC.
Shri Puri highlighted that the Siu-Ka-Pha hospital, equipped with modern infrastructure and advanced medical equipment, is expected to benefit not only the local population of Upper Assam but also people from neighboring states like Nagaland, Mizoram, and Arunachal Pradesh. The hospital is poised to provide healthcare services to approximately one lakh patients annually.

Built at an investment of Rs 483.19 crore, the multi-speciality hospital reflects ONGC’s commitment to enhancing the well-being of the communities in which it operates. The hospital, spread across 35 acres, boasts 300 beds and a team of 70 specialized doctors, providing a wide range of medical services, including Orthopaedics, Trauma, Paediatric & NICU, Obstetrics, Gynaecology, ENT, Skull base Surgery, Physiotherapy, Rehabilitation, and advanced diagnostics.
