Sangam City Sees Major Healthcare Boost with New Hospitals and Facilities

Over the past eight years, the state government has made significant strides in strengthening healthcare infrastructure in Sangam City. With the expansion of both state and central health schemes, residents now have access to improved medical facilities and treatments. Dr. Vatsala Mishra, Principal of Motilal Nehru (MLN) Medical College, highlighted several key developments, including a 160-bed PMSSY Super Specialty Block at Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital, built at a cost of ₹160 crore, benefiting patients from Prayagraj and nearby districts. Additionally, a ₹25 crore, 250-bed advanced children’s hospital is set to become operational by August. Healthcare advancements were further supported by a ₹75 crore budget from Maha Kumbh, enabling new constructions and equipment purchases. A new OPD facility was built at Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital, while a ₹9 crore Central Diagnostic Center now offers all tests in one place. A ₹36 crore L1 Trauma Center project was also approved, with ₹16 crore allocated for modern medical equipment. Furthermore, a ₹7 crore Green Corridor was created to facilitate safe patient transfers between hospital blocks. These developments have significantly increased outpatient department (OPD) visits, now ranging between 3,000 to 4,000 per day. Beyond urban centers, healthcare services have expanded into rural areas. Three new Community Health Centers (CHCs) were established, along with a 100-bed hospital in Bhagwatpur. The district now operates 551 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, offering primary healthcare and telemedicine consultations. Additionally, 12 Health ATMs have been installed for convenient medical testing. Under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, 13.64 lakh golden cards have been issued, ensuring financial coverage for medical expenses. These advancements mark a transformative era in healthcare accessibility and quality in Sangam City. Source: TOI
