Ahmedabad’s east to get another highrise hospital

AHMEDABAD: Like SVP and the new LG Hospital, another multi-storied hospital will come up in eastern Ahmedabad. Two days ago, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) called for an expression of interest from agencies to plan and design the new multi-storied Shardaben Chimanlal Lalbhai Hospital at Ashok Mill Compound in Saraspur.
“It will be a multi-speciality hospital with all modern medical equipment and at par with the best city-based health services,” says a senior member of the AMC standing committee who is privy to the developments. The process for appointing a consultant will be over by August 12. The project is scheduled for a period of three years. “Along with the multi-storied hospital, there will be a dedicated medical research centre and microbiology laboratories,’ the member said.
Once made, the new Shardaben hospital will be third multistoried multi-speciality hospital owned and operated by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation.
