A new academic block will house nursing, dental, and physiotherapy colleges to support medical training.
The project involves collaboration between multiple departments, including health, education, and law enforcement, ensuring seamless development. While the hospital is being built on 26 acres, the police department is redesigning its adjacent 11-acre campus to meet operational requirements.
To improve accessibility, road infrastructure around the hospital and police stadium is being revamped, incorporating ‘no signal’ junctions and underpasses to ease traffic congestion. Additionally, helipads are being planned for emergency patient transfers and organ transplant procedures.
The new campus will include essential facilities like a power sub-station, fire station, bio and non-bio waste management systems, and a sewage treatment plant. Authorities have also ensured the relocation of a government school that was previously situated on the hospital land.
With this project, Hyderabad is set to witness a major transformation in public healthcare, providing advanced medical services and modern education facilities, reinforcing its commitment to quality healthcare infrastructure.
