Chandigarh to establish 50-bed Critical Care Block

The Chandigarh administration plans to build a 50-bed Critical Care Block in Manimajra. The project will be located on 2.88 acres of land currently owned by the Municipal Corporation, which will be transferred to the administration. This facility will serve Manimajra and nearby areas, addressing the need for critical care in a densely populated region. The site is near an existing 100-bed hospital, making it a suitable location. In exchange for the land, the Municipal Corporation will receive land of equal value, likely in Sector 51. The health department emphasized the importance of this project for the local population, as current healthcare facilities are limited.
