Panneerselvam is in the picture. CHENNAI: Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare Anbumani Ramadoss on Saturday said that the State government was delaying handing over of land for some important projects. “We have been asking the State government to hand over 25 acres for a medicinal plant farm at Padappai,” he said. He was speaking after laying the foundation for Indian Institute of Advanced Nursing, a joint initiative of the Clinton Foundation, the Government of India and the private sector on the premises of the Government Hospital of Thoracic Medicine, Tambaram Sanatorium. He said the Centre had proposed the setting up of a Rs.50-crore Metro Blood Bank in Chennai, but the State government did not part with the required land. Once established, it would be among the best institutions equipped with a plasma fractional and would be a world class facility to aid accident victims. For about three years now, the Centre has been asking the State government to part with 50 acres in Chennai for building an Indian Institute of Public Health (IIPH), he said. The Centre had proposed three IIPHs initially and one of them was proposed to be set up in Tamil Nadu, the others being in New Delhi and Hyderabad. The institutes would be on the lines of the Indian Institute of Technology. “The IIPH in Hyderabad is nearly complete and I will be inaugurating it soon, but there has been no progress in Tamil Nadu,” he said. Tamil Nadu was the number one State in healthcare and HIV/AIDS programme and the Centre was willing to do more if the State government cooperated, Dr. Anbumani said.
