To further strengthen health services for devotees during the third Amrit Snan on Basant Panchami (February 3rd, 2025), the health infrastructure in Mahakumbh Nagar is being enhanced. Starting Thursday, the medical force has been activated. A total of 23 hospitals with a capacity of 360 beds have been fully prepared to provide essential medical services. A special medical team toured the mela area to assess the effectiveness of these arrangements and carefully examined the health service preparations to ensure quick and smooth medical assistance for devotees in case of any emergency.

 

To ensure safety of devotees, comprehensive health arrangements and sufficient medical force have been fully prepared. During the Amrit Snan, medical facilities have been expanded to handle any emergency, including the establishment of a state-of-the-art central hospital with a capacity of 100 beds. In addition, two sub-central hospitals with a capacity of 25 beds, eight sector hospitals with 20 beds each, and two infectious disease hospitals with 20 beds each have been set up to quickly address all health issues.

To ensure immediate availability of first aid, 10 first aid posts with a single bed are operational, where a team of trained medical staff will be on duty at all times. To make emergency services more effective, ambulances and medical teams have been deployed to quickly transport patients to hospitals when needed. Furthermore, regular health checks and adherence to sanitation guidelines are being ensured under the supervision of specialist doctors in the mela area.

To maintain smooth health services, a team of senior medical officers is continuously inspecting the mela area, taking corrective actions as necessary. The administration has ensured the availability of sufficient medicines, life-saving equipment, and medical resources at health centers to provide timely medical care to devotees in any situation. Help desks and information centers have been set up to assist the millions of devotees visiting the Mahakumbh, where medical staff will be available for health-related information and assistance. The aim of this entire setup is to provide better healthcare services to the devotees.
