Chandigarh set to expand AYUSH services with hospitals in Sector 34 and 11

Chandigarh: The AYUSH hospitals in Chandigarh, located in Sector 34 and Sector 11, are set to become operational soon, marking a key boost to the city's traditional healthcare system. The announcement comes as the administration moves closer to completing final preparations at both facilities aimed at strengthening integrated healthcare services. 

Home-cum-Health Secretary Mandip Singh Brar recently visited both hospital sites to review ongoing arrangements and assess readiness, reports Amar Ujala. During the inspection, he directed officials to expedite pending work and ensure that all necessary infrastructure and services are in place so that the hospitals can begin functioning without further delay.

According to officials, both hospitals have been developed as integrated AYUSH centres equipped with modern infrastructure. They are expected to offer a wide range of healthcare services, including Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, and Panchakarma therapies. The facilities will also include outpatient departments (OPDs), diagnostic services, and dedicated pharmacy units to support patient care. In addition, provision for integrated healthcare delivery, including basic allopathic dispensing support, has also been incorporated.

Officials briefed him that staffing and equipment installation are in their final stages, and services will be started once formal approvals are completed.

Brar emphasized the importance of maintaining cleanliness, ensuring efficient management, and providing high-quality healthcare services to patients. He instructed concerned departments to ensure that all operational requirements, including manpower deployment, equipment readiness, and service coordination, are completed before the facilities are opened to the public.

Authorities said the hospitals are in the final phase of preparation and are expected to begin services soon after completing the remaining formalities. Once operational, they are expected to significantly improve access to AYUSH-based treatment in Chandigarh and provide residents with expanded healthcare options under one roof.
