Rajkot to get Rs. 200 crore hospital with 36 acre campus


Rajkot, 12 November 2013

The city of Rajkot will get a new cancer hospital in 36 acre campus.

Ministry of Health, Government of Gujarat has forwarded a proposal in this regard to district collector office.

Years ago, the state government had given 50 acre land in Saurashtra University campus for construction of a medical college. However the college was actually built next to the Civil hospital. The land at Saurashtra University stayed unused therefore. The 36 acre land will be used now for cancer, heart, kidney hospital. The project is likely to materialize at a cost of Rs. 200 crore. Tenders process is likely to begin soon.
