Thanjavur Government Hospital to get Rs 100 crore makeover
Trichy: The Health and Family Welfare Minister, Ma Subramanian, has announced a major upgrade for the Government Raja Mirasudar General Hospital (GH) in Thanjavur, which was severely affected by a fire in the maternity block on April 24, 2025.
Medical Dialogues had previously reported that a fire erupted in the maternity block of the Government Raja Mirasudar General Hospital in Thanjavur, prompting the evacuation of around 150 people, including pregnant women, newborns, and hospital staff. The blaze is suspected to have been triggered by a short circuit in an air conditioning unit, causing significant smoke to billow throughout the building, leading to breathing problems for several staff members.

During an inspection of the hospital, Minister Subramanian assured that the government would invest a Rs 100 crore fund to rebuild and enhance the hospital’s infrastructure. The minister attributed the rise in patient numbers at government hospitals to the increasing public trust in these institutions, which are becoming preferred alternatives to private hospitals.
