## Upgrades

[edit]

PMCH is currently being upgraded to be a 5462-bed hospital.[4] This was one of the 37 proposals approved by the cabinet of Government of Bihar in November 2018.[5] The new PMCH premises will be spread over 72.44 lakh square foot area. The new PMCH will have 250 MBBS seats (against the existing 150 MBBS seats), and 200 PG seats (against the existing 146 PG seats). The Rs 5,540- crore project will be executed by the Bihar Medical Infrastructure Structure Corporation Limited. The new hospital will be linked with the under-construction double-decker flyover along Ashok Rajpath and Loknayak Ganga Path (Ganga Expressway). The new building will be constructed employing the Seismic base isolation technique that would protect it from earthquakes, equipped with a helipad on its top.[6]

## PMCH Metro station

[edit]

PMCH will soon get Metro connectivity as the upcoming PMCH metro station under Patna Metro Rail Project (PMRP) will pass beneath the hospital premises.[7] PMCH station will be part of the 14.45km long Patna Railway Station - Patliputra ISBT Corridor (Corridor-2) of the Patna Metro. PMCH metro station will have 4 entry and exit gates, two inside the PMCH campus and the other two towards the opposite side of road on the Ashok Rajpath. A small subway of 30 metre will also be constructed to provide connectivity towards the entry/exit gate on either side. PMCH metro Station having a length of 225 m, is coming partially inside the campus of PMCH and partially inside the campus of Anjuman Islamia Hall.[8]

In July 2022, the main gate of Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) on Ashok Rajpath was shut to undertake construction work for metro corridor-2.[9] An old gate that led to the emergency department building on its western side, which was closed several years ago, has been reopened to facilitate the movement of doctors and other staff, patients, attendants, ambulances and general public.[10]
