Goa Mapusa District Hospital, For sale to highest bidder

The District Hospital at Mapusa was completed in all respects two years ago. When we talk about the hospital being completed, we do not speak only of the building of the hospital. The Mapusa District Hospital is fully equipped with state-of -the-art facilities. It has a CT scan which is if anything, su¬perior to that of even the Goa Medical College Hospital.


The Mapusa District Hospital has sophisticated ultrasound systems with colour dopplers. It has state-of-the-art opera¬tion theatres, a central sterile supply department and is fully air-conditioned. The hospital is also fully comput¬erized and has mobile X-ray systems. It is not vulnerable to power fluctuations, unlike the GMC, because an under¬ground cable has been laid from the substation to the Mapusa District Hospital.

Mapusa District Hospital has a sewage treatment plant with an elevated tank platform. It has a morgue, unlike the dys¬functional morgue at Hospicio Hospital. All the beds are in place. It has geysers and water purifiers, which are in short supply even at the Goa Medical College Hospital. All the equipment in the hospital, including the software and the hardware, have been tested and commissioned. The Hospital built at a cost of over `40 crores more than two years ago has the entire infrastructure that is needed for it to start admitting patients im¬mediately. In fact it was ready to start functioning two years ago. The only thing that the District Hospital at Mapusa does not have is patients and doctors and nurses and other staff needed for the functioning as a full-fledged state-of-the-art public medical facility
