An ayurvedic hospital and a nursing college will come up soon inside the campus of MCD's Swami Dayanand Hospital in north-east Delhi. Foundation stone for the two units was laid today by local MP Jai Prakash Aggrawal. Aggrawal welcomed the MCD's move and said the Panchkarma Hospital will ensure that people of the area gets the best available ayurvedic treatment in their locality itself. He said that nursing college would have an intake capacity of 30 students each year and the course would be completed in three and a half years. He also asked the MCD Horticulture Department to develop a herbal garden in the vacant space outside the hospital so that medicines used for treatment under Panchkarma system need not be brought from outside. The construction of the buildings is expected to be completed within nine months. The Panchkarma Hospital is being constructed at a cost of 77.36 lakh after completely renovating a hostel for junior doctors of Swami Dayanand Hospital. Such hospitals are already there at Prashant Vihar, Karmapura, Rajauri Garden, Rajendra Nagar, Kalu Sarai and Padma Nagar. The four-storeyed Nursing College building is being constructed at a cost of Rs 5.37 crore in a plot area of 3237 sq m by using anti-earthquake techniques. "It is hoped that the medical facilities in Swami Dayanand hospital would get upgraded after starting of the nursing college in its compound," an official said.
