So far, super-structure of this fifteen-storey hospital building (including 2 basements) has already been completed. However, due to non-availability of adequate fund, the hospital could not be completed in a single phase and as such the hospital is now being made functional in three phases.
In the first phase, Basement 2, Level 1, Radiotherapy Vault and procurement of a major part of the medical equipment & furniture have been completed and the hospital has started functioning in a limited scale from April 2014, with Out Patient Department (OPD), In-patient beds, Operation Theaters, Radiation Therapy Unit, Day Care Centre and Diagnostic Facilities. The Hon'ble Prime Minister of Bangladesh has formally inaugurated the hospital on 9th April, 2014. At present more than 100 patients are receiving treatment everydays in various departments of the hospital.
The second phase covering Level 2 to Level 8 having 218 inpatient beds, 7 OTs, ICU, CCU and all other medical facilities will be completed by December 2016. Subject to availability of the required funds, rest of the facilities of this 500-bed hospital is expected to be completed by December 2017. |
