Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will dedicate several major healthcare facilities at King George’s Medical University (KGMU) on Monday.
The initiatives include the inauguration of new multi-storey building at Lari Cardiology Centre, launch of Superspecialty Centre for Orthopaedics, foundation stone laying for a 500-bed Trauma-II facility and the new general surgery block.
“These new facilities will enhance KGMU’s capacity to serve patients not only from the city but across UP and neighbouring states. With expanded cardiology and trauma care, along with advanced orthopaedic and surgical units, we are moving closer to our goal of delivering world-class, affordable healthcare under one roof,” said KGMU vice-chancellor Prof Soniya Nityanand.
Spokesperson KK Singh said the new 10-storey cardiology building would increase bed capacity from 84 to 176, providing relief to heart patients. It includes two cath labs, six floors for admissions, and four-level underground parking.
He added that the newly built eight-storey Super Speciality Centre for Orthopaedics, constructed at a cost of Rs 86 crore, would offer consultation, diagnosis, and treatment under one roof.
The facility houses 340 beds, including 24 private and 24 ICU beds, eight operation theatres, eight OPD rooms, departments of orthopaedic surgery, paediatric orthopaedics, sports medicine, and a bone bank. It also has radiodiagnosis, pathology labs, CT scan, x-ray machines, an HRF counter for affordable medicines, and modern services like knee and hip replacements.
The CM will lay the foundation for a 500-bed Trauma-2 Centre at a cost of Rs 296 crore. The current 466-bed centre is overburdened, forcing patients to turn to private hospitals. The new centre will include a patient utility complex.
The CM will lay the foundation for a seven-storey general surgery department with 300 beds, robotic surgery, and 10 operation theatres (Rs 378 crore), a new administrative block (Rs 48 crore), a diagnostic centre and PRA facility block (Rs 48 crore), and expansion of the new guest house.
