State Govt okays about Rs 300 cr for Neuro-Optho tower

Jaipur: The face of 90 years old SMS Hospital will soon change. After the country’s tallest medical building IPD Tower and Cardiology Tower, now preparations have started for Neuro-Optho Tower in hospital premises. It is proposed to be built at a cost of about Rs 293.79 cr. Along with this tower, Nursing Girls Hostel will also be constructed.

The proposal has been prepared under the direction of SMS Medical College Principal Dr. Rajeev Bagrahatta and SMS Hospital Superintendent Dr Achal Sharma and sent to the Medical Education Department. As it rains, many wards get submerged and in most places roofs start leaking. For the permanent solution, CM Ashok Gehlot has given a new direction due to which now the hospital will be converted into skyscraper towers in a phased manner.
