Bhopal to Get Second Advanced District Hospital

MP News: Outgoing Chief Medical and Health District Officer Prabhakar Tiwari stated that it will take a year for the hospital to commence full operations.

MP News: Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, is expected to get a second new district hospital by next year. All departments of the old Sultania Hospital will be relocated to Hamidia Hospital. The Sultania Hospital building will then be demolished to make way for a new, grand district hospital on the same site.

Construction is scheduled to begin in 2024 and be completed within 18 months. Health department officials have stated that approximately half of the work is currently complete. Despite this, they expect to hand over the building to the hospital department on schedule.

One Year to Completion

Prabhakar Tiwari, the outgoing Chief Medical and Health District Officer, stated that it will still take a year for the hospital to become fully operational. This will make Bhopal the only district in the state with two district hospitals. According to health officials, the number of patients at JP District Hospital and Hamidia Hospital is increasing daily, putting significant pressure on doctors in both facilities.

Equipped with State-of-the-Art Technology

Health department officials have stated that the new district hospital will be a multi-specialty hospital equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology and facilities. In addition to 500 beds, it will include more than six operation theatres (OTs), outpatient departments (OPDs) for all specialties, a laboratory, a blood bank, specialist doctors, nurse training facilities, and modern chambers for all doctors. The hospital will also have ample seating for patients, parking, and other amenities.
