Work on ₹141 crore cardiac hospital in Vadodara nearing completion

According to a report by Sandesh, the construction of Central Gujarat's largest stand-alone government cardiology hospital at a cost of ₹141 crore on Ajwa Road, Vadodara, has now reached its final stage. Managed by Sayaji Hospital (SSG), this project will become Gujarat's second-largest government heart care facility after Ahmedabad's U.N. Mehta Hospital. The goal is to complete the remaining work of this hospital and make it operational for public service by February 2027.

This state-of-the-art hospital provides a total of 300 beds, which includes 125 advanced ICU beds for patients in critical condition. The construction of this complex is based on heritage architecture and a 'butterfly planning concept' to ensure patients receive sufficient natural light and air. Keeping the importance of time in mind, a pneumatic tubing system has also been installed in the hospital. With the help of this technology, laboratory samples and pharmacy medicines can reach the operation theatre or ICU very quickly. Additionally, 9 lifts have been arranged in the building for the movement of patients and staff.

With the operationalization of this hospital, patients with heart diseases from districts such as Anand, Kheda, Panchmahal, Dahod, Chhota Udepur, and Narmada, in addition to Vadodara, will receive great relief. Until now, patients from these areas had to go to Ahmedabad for treatment or pay expensive bills at private hospitals. Now, with this facility, thousands of people will be able to receive surgery and treatment free of cost.
