The Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (RMLIMS) in Lucknow will construct a seven-storey broad speciality block with 1,000 beds near Shaheed Path. Approved by the board of governors, the facility aims to enhance critical care capacity and ease patient load across its campuses.
In a major healthcare infrastructure boost, RMLIMS has received approval to build a seven-storey broad speciality block with 1,000 beds near the Signature Building on Shaheed Path. The new facility will be dedicated to treating critically ill patients and is expected to significantly improve patient management and hospital efficiency.
Key highlights:
- The block will house broad speciality beds, freeing up 100–150 beds for critical care at the existing Vibhuti Khand campus.
- The new structure will help ease congestion at OPD and emergency units, which currently face high patient inflow.
- The proposal was approved during the governing body’s recent meeting chaired by UP Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh.
- The facility will be modeled after trauma centers like King George’s Medical University (KGMU), with phased construction beginning next year.
Major takeaway:
This expansion marks a strategic step toward strengthening Lucknow’s public healthcare infrastructure and improving access to specialized treatment.
