On chief minister Vasundhara Raje’s directives, SMS Hospital will soon have a super speciality centre and organ transplant centre. It will not only give patients better medical treatment but also benefit medical students because of increased seats in super specialty wing.

At present, there are 71 seats of DM and MCH in the super specialty wing that will go up to 108. Doctors at SMS Medical College consider it a boon for medical sector in the state.

Super specialty wing and organ transplant centre will come up on bungalow no. 09 and 10 near the trauma centre. The college administration approved building plans two days ago. The centre will be built under Prime Minister Health Protection Scheme for an estimated cost of Rs 200 crore. The central government is giving Rs 120 crore while the state government’s share would be Rs 80 crore.

Maximum seats in cardiology: 50 per cent increase in super specialty seats. Maximum 11 in cardiology, three each in urology and nephrology, seven in gastrology, nine in neuro surgery and four in gastroenterology.   

Direct connectivity to SMS Hospital: The underpass under construction between SMS hospital and trauma centre will also connect this centre. In one side of underground parking the hospital administration will install CT scan and MRI machines for a cost of Rs 20 crore so that patients do not have to go to trauma centre.

“All preparations for super specialty centre and organ transplant centre have been completed. Possibly this or the next month foundation stone will be laid. The centre will increase super specialty seats in the medical college, which means that the state will get more specialist doctors,” US Agrawal, principal, SMS Medical College
