Delhi’s premier medical hub comprising Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC), Lok Nayak Hospital, GB Pant Hospital, Guru Nanak Eye Centre and Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences is set for a redevelopment with the government planning to appoint a consultancy firm for preparing a road map of the project, officials aware of the development said on Monday.
A key feature of the proposal is the construction of a rooftop helipad to facilitate rapid transportation of organs, critically ill patients and emergency medical teams, significantly improving response times during life-saving situations, said officials. The facility may also cater to VIP movements when required, they added.
The plan envisages a highly integrated healthcare campus with dedicated emergency movement corridors, underground and skywalk connectivity between institutions, improved road networks and modern traffic management systems.
Large centralised parking facilities, multi-storey residential complexes for doctors, nurses, students and staff, and separate hostels for undergraduate and postgraduate students are also proposed under the redevelopment.
The plan includes a convention centre, central library, multidisciplinary research facility, centralised reception block, budget accommodation for patient attendants, sports and recreation facilities, cafeterias and a facility management hub. Dedicated electricity infrastructure, high-capacity digital networking, biomedical waste management systems and enhanced campus security are also planned, officials said.
