GT Hospital in Mumbai gets approval for new medical college building
Mumbai: After a decade-long wait, Gokuldas Tejpal (GT) Hospital will have its own medical college building as state govt has sanctioned nearly Rs 210.8 crore for the construction of the college block, hostels, and staff quarters. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The hospital began its first MBBS batch of 50 students last year and is currently awaiting approval for an intake of 100 students from the National Medical Commission (NMC). The new college building is planned as a G+12 floored structure and will be constructed within the hospital campus. The existing doctors' quarters, spread across 1.5 acres, will be demolished. According to the official recapitulation sheet, the total built-up area of the project will be nearly 34,780.5 sq m, which includes 15,609 sq m for the college building and 9,585.7 sq m each for the boys' and girls' hostels. "It will have all the required facilities as per NMC guidelines. The lecture halls will be able to accommodate 200 students if the govt asks us to expand at any point," said a medical official. The hospital has been struggling with a space crunch for some time now. Earlier, there were deliberations on scaling down its dedicated transgender ward, which witnesses far fewer admissions, and turning that space into a specialty service such as cardiology or nephrology. There has also been back and forth with state govt to move its adjacent 'chota mantralaya' elsewhere and hand over the building back to the hospital so it can function as a tertiary care facility effectively. The building remains GT Hospital on paper with offices functioning from it. "It will take another two to three years for the new buildings to be constructed. In the meantime, we need the adjacent building back to expand the hospital as the current building is a heritage structure with restrictions on repairs," the official said.

Medical College hostel in Vadodara earns green building tag
Vadodara: A hostel building for undergraduate medical students of Medical College, Baroda, has become the first-ever green-certified building on the campus of the state-run Sir Sayajirao General (SSG) Hospital in Vadodara. The nine-storey high-rise, part of Central Gujarat's largest govt hospital complex, has received a 3-star rating under GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. The hostel, completed in March last year, was funded by the department of health and family welfare of the Gujarat govt and constructed by the state's project implementation unit. "We voluntarily undertook this initiative to reduce emissions and make the building environmentally sustainable," said Dr Ranjan Aiyer, medical superintendent of SSG Hospital. The green building certification was carried out by N K Ojha, former registrar of MS University. "The campus also has a proposal to carry out the greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions report, wherein the emissions will be calculated, and attempts will be made to reduce emissions and then transfer the leftover emissions to carbon handprint to convert it into a zero-emissions campus," said Ojha. As part of the green building certification, the hostel building, located on a 4,008.06 sqm site with a 14,820 sqm built-up area, underwent a water audit to ensure that the water footprint is below the standard norms. "Water consumption was reduced by 25-30% with water-efficient plumbing fixtures and a water-efficient irrigation system. Also, energy and water meters were installed to monitor the consumption of energy and water and take corrective measures if consumption is more than the design case," said Ojha. Energy-efficient lighting fixtures, electrical equipment, and enhanced daylighting will ensure that energy consumption is saved in the building. "Similarly, enhanced ventilation and cross ventilation will provide comfort to the occupants even without air-conditioners," he said. "Adoption of green procurement policy, green housekeeping chemicals, creating a barrier-free environment, providing preferred parking for physically handicapped, and increasing accessibility to basic services within walking distance were among the other measures that were taken in the process," added Ojha.

Hospital achieves breakthrough with first valve-in-valve TAVR procedures
Mangaluru: Ina milestone for cardiac care in India, Indiana Hospital and Heart Institute in Mangaluru has successfully performed two complex Valve-in-Valve TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) procedures—marking the first time such interventions have been conducted in the region. Dr Yusuf Ali Kumble, Interventional Cardiologist and Managing Director of the hospital, said the procedures were part of their Structural Heart Program, which is now in its sixth year of serving Karnataka's coastal, Malnad, and North Malabar regions. The first case involved a 72-year-old man with multiple health complications, including a prior open-heart valve replacement done 20 years ago in Kochi. Deemed inoperable by other centres, the patient was successfully treated with Valve-in-Valve TAVR combined with angioplasty. The second case, performed the same day, involved an 80-year-old woman with prior valve surgery and recurring heart failure. Encouraged by the earlier success, she underwent TAVR and recovered without complications. Unlike conventional open-heart reoperations, Valve-in-Valve TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure where a new valve is inserted inside the old one using a catheter, significantly reducing patient Hospital had also performed Karnataka's first surgical Valve-in-Valve procedure four years ago, but this marks a leap forward in precision and safety. With these successful cases, the hospital has reaffirmed its role as a regional leader in advanced structural heart interventions.
