Dhuri: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday inaugurated a 50-bed sub-divisional hospital along with a 30-bedded maternal and child health (MCH) block in Dhuri.

"This project reflects our firm commitment to building a strong, accessible and patient-centric healthcare system by strengthening infrastructure, expanding medical services and improving the availability of skilled healthcare professionals," he said.

Speaking at the gathering, Mann said, the new facilities will cater not only to the residents of Dhuri city but also to people from nearly 70 surrounding villages, benefiting thousands of residents by bringing modern healthcare closer to their homes.

According to a recent PTI report, constructed at a cost of Rs 21.65 crore, the hospital complex features a state-of-the-art building spread across approximately 73,000 square feet and will prove to be a boon for the region, he said.

He added that it will significantly strengthen secondary-level healthcare services by providing comprehensive outpatient and inpatient care, emergency services, diagnostic facilities and specialised consultations.

The 50-bedded sub-divisional hospital has been developed to provide comprehensive secondary-level healthcare services, while the 30-bedded maternal and child health block will significantly strengthen maternal, neonatal and child healthcare services, ensuring better care for mothers and newborns in the region, Mann said.

The new facility includes 13 OPD rooms, a fully equipped emergency block, two registration counters and seven operation theatres for both major and minor surgeries.

It houses modern diagnostic facilities such as ECG, ultrasound and X-ray rooms, along with three laboratories to ensure timely and accurate medical testing, he said.
