Construction of new Osmania Hospital building begins on Dussehra

Construction work on the much-awaited new building of Osmania General Hospital (OGH) began today, coinciding with Dussehra. The project, taken up on the Goshamahal Stadium land, will shift the historic hospital from its current location into a modern 12-storey facility with 2,000 beds and state-of-the-art medical infrastructure.

The contract for the project has been awarded to Megha Engineering and Infrastructure Limited (MEIL). Company Director K. Govardhan Reddy formally launched the construction after performing special puja at



the site.

 He assured that the work will be completed within the time frame fixed by the government and said the new hospital will match private corporate hospitals in terms of facilities and medical equipment.

According to the plan, the new Osmania General Hospital building will include 29 major operation theatres and 12 minor theatres, along with dedicated facilities for robotic surgery and organ transplantation. The building will also house a helipad on the rooftop, ensuring faster emergency services.
