Chennai, Aug 22 (UNI) Mr Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, President and CEO, Nokia Corporation, the world leader in mobile communications, today laid the foundation stone of a state-of-the-art healthcare centre at the Nokia Telecom SEZ Park at Sriperumbudur, near here.

The Healthcare Centre would be set up in an area of 3,000 square metres in the Non Processing Area (NPA) of the Nokia Telecom SEZ Park and would cater to the healthcare requirements of the employees in the SEZ as well as the local community in the region.

Comprising 30 beds, the centre would be set up in association with a professional healthcare group and would be fully operational by mid 2008, a company release here said.

Nokia India Director-Operations Sachin Saxena said, ''the centre is a reiteration of our commitment to the welfare of our employees in the SEZ. It is our endeavour to ensure that our employees receive world class healthcare facilities right here in the SEZ.'' The Nokia plant had currently employed 4,700 people, 70 per cent of whom were women. The Nokia Telecom Park had received an investment of USD 500 million with seven global component manufacturers likely to generate in excess of 30,000 jobs when fully functional.

Mr Kallasvuo, who is on a three day visit to India, called on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi at the secretariat this morning. During his visit, he would be meeting senior government officials, leaders of Indian industry, key Indian customers and partners and the Nokia SEZ component suppliers.
