 Early Times Report
Lucknow, July 14: The administrative building of King George’s Medical University (KGMU) will soon be seen in a new and upgraded form. On Monday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath laid the foundation stone for KGMU’s new administrative building, a state-of-the-art diagnostic lab, a patient accommodation facility block, and an expanded guest house. These three major projects will be completed at a total cost of Rs 99.10 crore. With this, KGMU is set to begin a new era in patient care and medical diagnostics.
According to KGMU spokesperson KK Singh, the ultra-modern diagnostic lab will provide patients with 24x7 high-quality testing services. The newly constructed patient-relative accommodation block will offer suitable lodging facilities for caregivers. The five-storey block will house modern facilities such as radiology, X-ray, CT scan, ultrasound, pathology, and microbiology labs—all under one roof. This will eliminate long waiting periods for tests. Once prescribed, all required diagnostics can be conducted immediately at the same location.
Patients will also receive their test reports via SMS, ensuring timely treatment and faster recovery. In addition, a 450-bed accommodation block will be developed for caregivers, featuring disaster management, a central command area, and proper lodging. The entire block will be constructed at a cost of Rs 48 crore.
The new admin block will also include a parking facility for 100 vehicles dedicated to staff and is expected to streamline administrative operations and improve efficiency and transparency in healthcare management. |
