PGI's Sarangpur Satellite Centre faces delays despite land transfer

A long-awaited healthcare expansion project in Chandigarh, aimed at reducing the heavy patient load on the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), continues to face major delays despite multiple approvals and the official transfer of land nearly four years ago.

The Sarangpur satellite centre project, originally proposed in 2017, involves the development of a sprawling 50.76-acre campus intended to house a new MBBS college, advanced treatment centres, and speciality hospitals. The Union Cabinet approved the transfer of the land to PGI in 2019, but the Chandigarh administration only officially handed over possession in November 2021 after prolonged discussions.

Medical Dialogues had previously reported that in a major setback, the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh (PGI Chandigarh) has failed to complete the project of the 300-bed hospital at Sangrur within the stipulated timeframe. With the deadline being missed, PGIMER has now set December 2019 as the new deadline for the completion of the hospital at its satellite centre.
