In a major step toward strengthening healthcare access across Uttar Pradesh, the state government is advancing plans to modernize medical infrastructure. As part of this effort, King George’s Medical University (KGMU) and Queen Mary Hospital in Lucknow will soon house two advanced, multi-storey medical facilities aimed at enhancing dental and women’s healthcare services.
The project, with an estimated budget of ₹198 crore, has been designed by the Planning Division under the Building Cell (Technical) of the Public Works Department. Construction will follow the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) model, ensuring timely execution within two years.
According to the proposal, the KGMU campus will see the addition of a five-storey Dental Faculty Complex and a nine-storey Apex Women’s Health Centre at Queen Mary Hospital.
The five-storey dental block will be constructed behind the existing building and will accommodate five key departments. The layout includes:
Ground Floor: Oral Medicine and Radiology
First Floor: Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics
Second Floor: Public Health Dentistry
Third Floor: Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics
Fourth Floor: Oral Pathology and Microbiology
In addition to academic and clinical departments, the facility will offer modern amenities such as a 200-seat multipurpose hall, dedicated parking, a security room, a 2,000 sq ft administrative office, and other support services.
The proposed nine-storey Apex Women’s Health Centre will be a landmark facility dedicated to comprehensive women’s and child healthcare. Built above three basement levels, it will offer:
Ground Floor: Utility and service areas
First Floor: High-risk Obstetrics OPD
Second Floor: Inpatient wards for high-risk pregnancies
Third Floor: Labour Room, Emergency OT, and Post-Operative Complex
Fourth Floor: Maternal ICU under Critical Care and Medicine
Fifth Floor: Neonatal ICU (NICU)
Sixth Floor: Paediatrics Critical Care ICU
Seventh Floor: Reproductive and Foetal Medicine
Eighth Floor: Elective Operation Theatre
Ninth Floor: Faculty offices for Critical Care, Obstetrics, and Neonatology
The centre will be equipped with advanced systems, including modern elevators, CCTV surveillance, public address systems, and HVAC facilities.
Once completed, these new facilities will mark a significant leap in Uttar Pradesh’s journey towards accessible, high-quality, and future-ready healthcare for all.
