Raipur, November 29<\/p>\n
Health, education and research form the core foundation of any developed society. As India moves swiftly towards the national goal of a developed nation by 2047, \u201chigh-quality and inclusive healthcare\u201d has become a central priority. In this direction, the Medicity project, being developed by the Chhattisgarh Government in Nava Raipur Atal Nagar, marks the beginning of a \u201cnew era of advanced medical services\u201d not only for the state but for the entire Central Indian region. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai and the guidance of Finance Minister Shri O.P. Choudhary, the project is emerging as one of the country\u2019s \u201cmost ambitious and future-ready healthcare initiatives\u201d.<\/p>\n
Nava Raipur Atal Nagar has long been a major centre for education, transport, industry and modern urban development. Medicity is now set to position itself as a national \u201chealthcare capital\u201d. With its robust connectivity, strong transportation network, and strategic central location, Nava Raipur is becoming the preferred destination for advanced medical care for neighbouring states, including Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra. More than seven crore passengers use the airport and rail facilities annually, and with upcoming international flight services, \u201cmedical tourism opportunities\u201d are expected to expand significantly.<\/p>\n
Spread across 200 acres in Sectors 36\u201337, Medicity will house more than 5,000 beds along with leading national healthcare institutions, establishing it as one of India\u2019s largest medical cities.<\/p>\n
A medical university, nursing college and research centres are being set up to build a \u201ccompetent new generation of medical professionals\u201d. Specialised hospitals in cardiology, cancer sciences, neurology, orthopaedics, organ transplant and multispecialty care, along with state-of-the-art diagnostic laboratories, will elevate healthcare standards. Residential complexes, hostels, hotels and dharamshalas planned for patients and attendants will shape the area into a \u201chuman-centric medical zone\u201d. Under the \u2018walk-to-hospital\u2019 model, eco-friendly design, seamless public transport and affordable treatment under PMJAY and CGHS will make the project fully inclusive.<\/p>\n
Existing world-class institutions in Nava Raipur further strengthen this ecosystem. Shri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital, operational since 2012, is a renowned centre for paediatric cardiac care, serving patients from India, as well as Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and several African countries. The 170-bed Balco Cancer Hospital, functional since 2018, provides advanced cancer treatment across a radius of nearly 600 km in Central India. Raipur\u2019s clean environment and lower cost of living make it a more suitable destination for patients and their families.<\/p>\n
Medicity will not only be a healthcare project but also a major centre of economic activity. It will generate thousands of jobs in health, pharma, wellness and support services. The development of affordable housing, commercial establishments and new service sectors around it will make a significant contribution to the state\u2019s GDP.<\/p>\n
Nava Raipur Medicity reflects the state government\u2019s commitment to ensuring \u201chigh-quality healthcare for all, at low cost and with strong safety standards\u201d. More than a project, it represents a \u201cnew definition of India\u2019s healthy, secure and developed future\u201d. In the coming years, Medicity will reshape the healthcare landscape of Central India and serve as a model of excellence at the national and international levels.<\/p>\n
\u201cNava Raipur Medicity will become an engine of economic and social progress for Chhattisgarh, driving growth for decades. This world-class healthcare city, spanning 200 acres, will strengthen the state\u2019s economy by generating significant employment opportunities in the health, pharmaceutical, wellness, education, and service sectors. With AIIMS, Bombay Hospital Trust, a medical university and super-speciality institutions, Nava Raipur will emerge as a national health hub. Its model\u2014based on \u2018accessibility, affordability and high quality\u2019\u2014will position Chhattisgarh as a leader in medical tourism, research and the health economy.\u201d \u2014 Finance Minister Shri O.P. Choudhary<\/p>\n
