Overview

The Government of Tripura has always placed a lot of emphasis on healthcare for all. Over the years, a reasonably good infrastructure of health institutions has been created in the State. However, providing good healthcare to all the citizens is a gigantic task and in this respect, private sector can play a very significant role. There are 2 (two) Medical Colleges in the State with Super specialty services. There are nursing institutes in Private and Government Sector. A Para-medical College has also come up in PPP framework. Among the private players, ILS Multi-specialty Hospital and few private Nursing Home/ Hospitals are prominent and are there is potential for more private investment in this important sector.

To encourage the investors to invest in the State of Tripura, State Government has introduced State incentive scheme, namely, Tripura Industrial Investment Promotion Incentive Scheme (TIIPIS), 2017 for five years w.e.f. first April,2017. The Government of Tripura has declared priority sector industrial enterprises as "Thrust Sector Industries" in the State to promote new industrial enterprises bases on local resources. Besides, service sector activities like setting up of Hospital/ Nursing Homes with a minimum capacity of 50 beds shall mean Thrust Sector Industries. There is a provision of enhanced rate and quantum of subsidies/ incentives under State incentive scheme.
