Agra, 8th January 20XX: 'Aarogya' super specialty hospital was inaugurated by the Health Minister or
State in the city of Taj on Friday. The 500-bed hospital seemed to be equipped with the most advanced

life-support ambulances have been made available round the clock. Besides having an in-house blood
bank, its information system has been linked to the other major blood banks in the country to enable
the right group of blood made available at the shortest notice.
The hospital covers an area of 5,000 m² and the total expenditure in building the hospital is said to
be twenty eight crore rupees. Addressing the people, Dr Sneh Bansal, the Medical Superintendent
reinforced the need for dedicated and committed staff. He sincerely hoped that the hospital would
