A brand-new Osmania General Hospital (OGH) will soon be constructed at Goshamahal. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy is set to lay the foundation stone for this modern facility on Friday.
The new hospital will span a massive 32 lakh square feet and feature 2,000 beds. It will include 29 major operation theatres, 12 minor operation theatres, a dedicated transplant theatre, and advanced facilities for robotic surgery.
In addition to healthcare services, the hospital will have modern systems for laundry, waste management, and water treatment. Its Medical Education and Training wing will be expanded to include 30 departments, with 8 new super-specialty areas. The facility will also house an academic block with nursing, dental, and physiotherapy colleges. Parking will be provided across three levels.
To ease traffic congestion in the area, the roads around the police stadium and hospital will be redesigned. Plans include underpasses, signal-free junctions, and even helipads for emergency patient and organ transportation.
The hospital is being built on 26 acres of land. Meanwhile, the Police Department will develop an adjoining 11-acre campus to meet its needs.
Osmania Hospital has a rich history, originally established in 1866 as Afzalgunj Hospital and later renamed Osmania Hospital in 1919. For over a century, it has served thousands of patients daily and performed countless surgeries.
