Expansion of emergency medical services in East Delhi: super-speciality block to come up at GTB Hospital: CM

New Delhi, Sep 16 (UNI) The Delhi Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has approved the construction of a 250-bed super speciality- cum- trauma block at the Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital situated in Dilshad Garden, East Delhi.
The approximate cost of the project has been estimated to be around Rs 244.87 crore. The new block will be built within the existing GTB Hospital campus, eliminating the need to purchase additional land.
It will be constructed under Phase-IV of the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY).
According to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the GTB Hospital is the only major government hospital in East Delhi, and continues to face a heavy patient load, and almost all the beds remain occupied.
In view of this, there was a need to expand modern trauma facilities for accident victims and critical emergency cases. Once the new block becomes operational, critical patients will have access to 24x7 emergency and trauma care, specialist treatment, diagnostics, surgery and intensive care at one place.
Spread over 22,550 square metres, the new block will comprise a basement, ground floor and six upper floors, and will have 250 beds, 48 specialist OPD rooms and nine modern operation theatres. The ground floor will have a 24x7 emergency department along with diagnostic facilities such as CT scan, MRI and X-ray.
A 72-bed ICU will be located on the second floor, while the fourth and fifth floors will have 175 general and private ward beds.
Of the 250 beds, 20 will be for emergency care, five for the Burns ICU, 70 for ICU care, four for isolation, 22 for pre- and post-surgery care, 102 for general wards and 25 in private rooms.
There will be specialist services on offer, including neurology, orthopaedics, dermatology and dental care, while a total of 77 critical-care beds will be available for seriously ill patients.
The new block will provide round-the-clock trauma treatment for accident victims and critical emergency cases, and diagnostic facilities, including CT scan, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound and laboratory services, will be available.
Chief Minister Gupta said timely treatment is crucial in serious accident cases, adding that the new block will bring together all essential facilities, from emergency care and diagnostics to intensive care and surgery, in an integrated manner.
The development is going to expand East Delhi's capacity to treat serious accident and emergency cases. A committee comprising senior officials from the Central and Delhi governments will be constituted to monitor the project.
The committee will meet every three months to review the progress of construction, with the target set for the hospital to become operational by 2028.
The Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) is a central scheme under which modern and improved medical facilities are developed in government hospitals. The proposed Super-Speciality-cum-Trauma Block at GTB Hospital will be constructed under this scheme.
