Guwahati, Oct. 24 -- Assam's Health Department is targeting November 16 to begin operating relocated services at Mahendra Mohan Choudhury Hospital (MMCH) in Guwahati, ensuring continuity of patient care while infrastructure work is undertaken at Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH).

Health Minister Ashok Singhal said the relocation would involve almost all departments, although a few units might not be included in the temporary arrangement. He stressed that the transition should be carried out smoothly, without causing inconvenience to patients.

The relocation is expected to allow reconstruction work to proceed at the GMCH campus while medical services continue from the MMCH facility in Panbazar.
