ESI Hospital Ranipet Address

ESI (Employees’ State Insurance) hospitals were established under the Employees State Insurance Act, 1948, to provide medical care and social security benefits to employees in India. The ESI Act was enacted to provide comprehensive medical care, social security, and other benefits to employees and their dependents. The first ESI hospital was established in Delhi in 1953, and since then, the network of ESI hospitals has grown considerably, covering several states and union territories in India. The ESI scheme is managed by the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), a statutory body set up under the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India. ESI hospitals provide a range of medical services, including outpatient and inpatient care, diagnostic services, and emergency services.

The hospitals also provide preventive healthcare services, such as health education and immunization programs. ESI hospitals are primarily aimed at providing medical care to workers in the organized sector, including those working in factories, mines, and other industrial establishments. The scheme is funded through contributions from employers and employees, with the government also contributing a share of the funds.

Over the years, the ESI scheme has undergone several changes and reforms to improve its coverage and efficiency. The scheme has been expanded to cover more categories of workers, including those in the informal sector, and the benefits provided under the scheme have been enhanced to include additional services such as maternity benefits, disability benefits, and unemployment benefits.

Today, the ESI scheme is one of the largest social security schemes in the world, providing healthcare and other benefits to millions of workers and their families in India.
