Background
With nursing admissions open at Silvassa this season, the standing fact behind them is that Silvassa holds both NAMO Hospital, a 450-bed hospital built at a cost of over Rs 460 crore in its first phase, and Namo Medical College. The Prime Minister's Office records these alongside village and other road infrastructure, schools, health and wellness centres, Panchayat and administrative buildings, Anganwadi centres and water supply and sewage infrastructure in the Union Territory, together worth over Rs 2,580 crore.

Why it matters for exams: Health and Wellness Centres are the primary care arm of Ayushman Bharat and Anganwadi centres run under the Integrated Child Development Services - both named in this Union Territory's works.
