Hyderabad, 19 May 2026: In a landmark step towards transforming healthcare access across Bastar, a Super Speciality Hospital in Jagdalpur was virtually inaugurated by the Honourable Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah in the presence of Honourable Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, on Monday.
A key driver of industrial and social development in Chhattisgarh, NMDC emerged as an enabling force in the commissioning of the hospital. Investing ₹25 crore in the operationalisation, the company has committed sustained financial support of a similar scale over the next five years, helping the institution evolve into a self-sufficient healthcare ecosystem.
Developed by the Government of Chhattisgarh under the aegis of the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), the hospital meets a critical regional healthcare need for the tribal communities of Bastar, who have historically had to travel long distances for specialised treatment.
In response to the pressing need for accessible tertiary healthcare in the region, NMDC ensured the operational readiness of the facility by bringing on board a reputed private healthcare partner and extending financial support. The Government of Chhattisgarh has entrusted the private corporate hospital with managing operations and NMDC with funding the initial operational expenditure.
Located in Dimrapal, Jagdalpur, the hospital is expected to reduce dependence on metropolitan centres for critical healthcare needs and ensure timely access to quality medical treatment for thousands of families across South Chhattisgarh.
For decades, NMDC has invested in building social infrastructure in Bastar, particularly in healthcare and education. Honouring its commitment to the local tribals, the Super Speciality Hospital, supported by NMDC, stands as a defining moment in the region’s development journey. A major advancement in healthcare accessibility for the people of Bastar, the hospital will provide free treatment to underserved communities.
