The Health Minister of Uttarakhand, Surendra Singh Negi inspected the under-construction building of Gandhi Centenary Eye hospital (GCEH) in Dalanwala on Thursday and directed the officials to complete all pending work till September 15.

The Health Minister told the media that the hospital would be handed over the Government by September 15. He said that the apart from a dedicated eye hospital 150 beds from Doon hospital would be shifted to GCEH.
The MlA and parliamentary secretary, Rajkumar said that the best treatment of diseases related with eye would be available in the hospital once it is completed. He said that the patients of Dehradun, Haridwar, Rishikesh and many mountainous areas would be benefited by this hospital once it becomes operational.
