Bikaner PBM Hospital: New ENT Building Gets Green Light After 3-Year Delay

• Construction of a new ENT building at Bikaner's PBM Hospital receives final approval with a new sanction of Rs 3.36 crore.
• The project, stalled for three years, aims to address the significant increase in ENT patient footfall, which rose from 150 to 400 daily.
• The new facility will replace the old, dilapidated building, providing more space for patients and modern medical equipment.
• Initial plans include constructing the ground and first floors, with an OPD block first, followed by a state-of-the-art Operation Theatre on the second floor.
• Despite the foundation stone being laid in August 2023, work was delayed due to technical reasons and lapsed funds; additional budget may be sought if costs increase.
