Hyderabad: Adding a new milestone in its journey, the historic Gandhi Hospital is going to witness a major infrastructural makeover this year. If sources are to be believed, a world-class transplantation centre, at an estimated cost of Rs 60 crore, would be opened at the infirmary to cater to poor patients who are in dire need of organ or tissue implantation.
The project proposal has been sent to the State government by the Director of the hospital and is awaiting approval. In the meanwhile, talks are on that this transplantation wing would be a one-stop centre wherein patients can avail facilities for implantation of organs like liver, kidney, heart to name a few. The centre is said to be developed on the eighth floor of the hospital main building.
In addition, the management has also asked for six modular theatres, worth 30 crore, to be built in the infirmary with state-of-the-art infrastructure that can help doctors perform complex surgeries with international standards of patient care. Speaking on the same, P Shravan Kumar, Superintendent of the hospital told The Hans India: “Gandhi Hospital has been catering to patients who mostly hail from economically weak backgrounds, and many a times we have to refer them to other hospitals as a few services remain unavailable with us.
But this year, we have decided to add in new wings to our mission of providing quality healthcare like the modular theatres. We are also hoping to provide both medical and surgical gastroenterology treatments this year with advanced technologies.”
Apart from the proposed projects, an Emergency Medical Department with an estimated cost of Rs 2.8 crore would be inaugurated at the outpatient block of Gandhi Hospital which would cater to patients with all types of casualties in an international procedure.
In fact, the Superintendent has also shared that a dedicated wing for blood collection too would be opened at the infirmary in order to ensure that every poor patient in need of any blood type should not face shortage at the hospital and can be protected from being exploited by private blood banks.
