The government, on
Tuesday, announced that Rs. 6.86 crore had been sanctioned for completing work
on the dome of the new multi-specialty hospital coming up at Omandurar estate.
A temporary dome was built
by art director Thotta Tharani at a cost of Rs. 3 crore during the inauguration
of the complex in March 2010.
A sum of Rs. 26.93 crore
had been sanctioned for completing the civil work in the form of structural
changes and Rs. 76.04 crore allocated for purchase of medical equipment and
furniture. A total of Rs. 2 crore had also been sanctioned for mosquito
eradication measures.
The focus is now on
putting finishing touches to the operation theatres and rooms housing equipment
such as MRI, CT scan and Cath lab. A four-slice CT scan has been installed and
the MRI machine is in the process of being assembled.
Specialists in various
disciplines from Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital are supervising the
installation of machines. The specialists’ expertise has been sought for
lighting, drainage and conducting swab tests in the theatres. Health department
officials say structural alterations to suit the equipment are being made.
With the extension of the
ramp to the sixth floor, civil works at the multi-speciality hospital have
almost been completed.
