Speaking to Patrika, Dr Anil Samariya, Principal of Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, stated that a plan had been prepared and submitted to the department for the construction of a super-speciality block in accordance with the budget announcement. As per the instructions of the Assembly Speaker, this plan has now received full approval. For the super-speciality block in the hospital, ₹65 crore has been sanctioned in the first phase, ₹64 crore in the second phase, and ₹62 crore in the third phase. In addition to the super-speciality block, the hospital has already received Rs 50 crore for its renovation, focusing on enhancing infrastructure and introducing new specialised facilities. A dedicated block will be created to treat diseases related to the eyes, ears, nose, throat, and face.
According to Patrika, on the request of Assembly Speaker Devnani, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma had announced the establishment of a super-speciality block at Ajmer's Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital in the state budget. This is the first time since independence that such a large sum has been sanctioned for the hospital's development. Now, patients from the Ajmer division will not need to travel to Delhi or Jaipur for super-speciality services. Thousands of people will benefit from this.
The super-speciality block will be constructed on the site of the current TB hospital. In the first phase, departments of Urology, Nephrology, and Neurology will be established. Subsequent phases will include the introduction of departments like Endocrinology, Oncology, and Plastic Surgery. The building will be fully air-conditioned, with the ground floor dedicated to the reception area, outpatient department (OPD), and diagnostic centres. Upper floors will feature intensive care units (ICUs), operating theatres, post-operative wards, and other critical facilities.
