Decisions taken in the meeting chaired by the CM

Rajkot : Decisions taken in the high power committee meeting chaired by chief minister Vijay Rupani. Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani has taken an important decision to set up a temporary 100-bed Covid Hospital using the Smt. Manuben Dhebar Sanatorium next to PDU Medical College Hospital in Rajkot. In the possible third wave of coronavirus, this temporary 100-bed hospital will be useful for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.  CM Vijay Rupani, in a meeting held in Gandhinagar today, has taken decisions to form a High-Power Committee to set up a 400-bed hospital on a permanent basis as a long-term plan by handing over the land of this sanatorium with an area of 3670 square meters to the health department. This hospital will enhance the bed facilities of the existing PDU hospital and provide better treatment facilities to the patients. CM Rupani has taken this decision with a sensible approach that currently Smt. Manuben Dhebar Sanatorium is in a dilapidated and unusable condition and it should be used for the enhancement of public health facilities.
