PET Scan Facility at Cancer Hospital to Begin Soon – Anil Vij
Energy Minister Anil Vij Inspects Construction of 100-Bedded Building at Ambala Cantonment Civil Hospital
Chandigarh, 24 September 2025
Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister, Sh. Anil Vij said that the construction of a new 100-bedded building at Ambala Cantonment Civil Hospital is progressing rapidly and is expected to be completed soon. The facility will primarily house a state-of-the-art Critical Care Unit (CCU), ensuring that patients no longer need to travel elsewhere for advanced treatment. Additionally, work to install a PET scan at the Cancer Hospital will also commence shortly.
Sh. Vij made these remarks while inspecting the construction site of the 100-bedded facility at Ambala Cantonment Civil Hospital today.
During the inspection, he reviewed the progress with PWD officials and representatives of the construction agency. He instructed them to expedite the work so that patients visiting the hospital can benefit at the earliest. The new building is being constructed at a cost of approximately Rs.14.79 crore. Present during the inspection were PWD Executive Engineer Ritesh Agarwal, CMO Dr. Rakesh Sehl, PMO Dr. Pooja, and other officials.
Hospital Capacity to Double to 200 Beds
With the completion of the new 100-bedded building, the total capacity of Ambala Civil Hospital will increase to 200 beds. This expansion will significantly ease the pressure on the hospital, which currently operates with just 100 beds, insufficient to meet the growing number of patients.
Seven-Storey Building with Comprehensive Facilities
The new facility will consist of seven floors, including two basements:
• Two Basement Floors – One floor dedicated to vehicle parking and another to house an AC plant and gas plant.
• Ground Floor – Registration and reception center, emergency services, toilets, and other amenities.
• First Floor – Emergency ward with 28 beds.
• Second Floor – Infectious ICU (Intensive Care Unit).
• Third Floor – Infectious OT, super-specialty OT, and wards.
• Fourth Floor – Infectious OT, super-specialty OT, and wards.
Critical Care Unit to Save Lives
The 100-bedded building will be developed as a Critical Care Unit, equipped to provide specialized medical support during emergencies. The CCU will feature advanced monitoring systems, essential medicines, and critical decision-making facilities based on patient conditions.
The unit will allow doctors to closely monitor vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and other indicators, enabling immediate treatment for any complications. Facilities will include oxygen support, emergency procedures, post-care recovery, and specialized wards for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.
The building design ensures infection control, protecting general patients from potential exposure.
