The proposed expansion of public health infrastructure in the Central Travancore region has received a major shot in the arm with the State government allocating ₹268 crore for the construction of a super specialty block on the Kottayam Medical College Hospital (MCH) campus.
The eight-storied building, which will come up in front of the office of the MCH principal, will have a total built-up area of 27,374 sq.ft. The project is slated to be completed in two years. Upon completion, it will encompass facilities including 362 beds, 11 operating theaters and 60 ICU beds.
The funds have been sanctioned through the Kerala Infrastructure and investment Fund Board (KIIFB).
