Chandigarh: After deciding against taking MC's land for the ambitious project of constructing a 50-bedded critical care hospital in Manimajra, the UT administration finally finalised a 2.01-acre plot for the first of its kind project.
Construction plan of the project, which will come up at Pocket Number 14, Manimajra, has been finalised. The engineering department will float the tender to invite bids.
The plan is to construct a building with three floors on 1,28,833 square feet covered area. The structure will comprise both the critical care block and the service or sarai block. Since the total plot area is 87,600 square feet, the Chandigarh administration allowed a 1.50 permissible FAR (Floor Area Ratio) for this project.
The new critical care hospital will have facilities such as emergency triage, gynaecology emergency, point of care lab, isolation room, ultrasound room, plaster room, duty room, and DU room. It will also have dialysis, isolation ward, therapeutic diet, duty room, staff room, cafeteria, and kitchen. Other facilities will include a 21-bedded ICU/HDU, operation theatre, administrative/office block, X-ray, MRI room, CT scan, and lab.

The administration has planned a dedicated building for sarai, which will have 84 beds for the public. This building will have chemist shop, tuck shop, cafeteria, kitchen, etc. A basement parking has been planned to prevent issues. A few areas in the basement will also be used for services.
The ground, first, second, and third floors of the building will have all the required facilities with modern technologies for treatment of patients.
In-depth consultations were held with the UT health department during the planning stage. Each medical aspect related to the project was thoroughly discussed and the floor-wise plan was finalised.
The critical care hospital project will be constructed under the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM). Since Manimajra is a densely populated area, the project aims at facilitating a large number of people, mainly from Manimajra, Maulijagran, and adjoining areas.
Box:
Earlier, the Chandigarh administration asked the Municipal Corporation to give its land for the project in Manimajra and take some of the UT's land in the southern sectors in return. However, the MC rejected the land-swap proposal and sought money against the land. Thereafter, the Chandigarh administration earmarked a new plot of land for the project instead of taking MC's land. Since the MC's land is situated adjacent to the Manimajra Civil Hospital, UT previously found the MC's land more suitable for the critical care centre project.
However, since the MC refused the swap, the project is now coming up at another location in Manimajra, decided by the Chandigarh administration.
