The Directorate of Medical Education (DME) will select a Technical Agency for establishing super-specialty hospital at Dau Kalyan Singh (DKS) Bhawan by the end of October 2014.
The Request for Proposal (RoP) for selection of the Technical Support Agency (TSA) has been issued by DME and the process will be completed by the last week of this month, sources said.
The proposed super specialty hospital will provide services in six disciplines including Renal Sciences, Neurosciences, Endocrinology, Pediatric surgery, Burn-plastic and Reconstructive surgery besides setting up of an Infertility Treatment Centre. It will also have a 20 bed emergency ward.
The DME has decided to establish a super specialty hospital with a capacity of 250-300 beds at DKS Bhawan after the Secretariat was shifted to Mahanadi Bhawan in Naya Raipur.
The Directorate of Medical Education has invited RoP for selection of agency while the pre-bid meeting is scheduled on October 10. The bids will be opened and the Technical Agency will be selected on October 21.
DME has mentioned that the work for establishing the super-specialty hospital will start from December 1, 2014 and the work will be completed in one year. It has been planned that the super specialty hospital will start providing services from January 2016.
The TSA will have to set up a Project Management Unit (PMU) in the DKS Bhawan to deliver the services. It will also have to depute a two-member team comprising a doctor with experience in hospital administration and a professional in hospital management.
