SBI to fund Orthopaedics Wing of IISc Bagchi-Parthasarathy hospital

SBI will provide a CSR donation of Rs 24 crore for the establishment of the Orthopaedics Wing, including the required biomedical equipment. The project will be completed by 2025.

The State Bank of India (SBI) has partnered with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, towards the construction of the Orthopaedics Wing of the Bagchi-Parthasarathy hospital coming up on campus.

The not-for-profit multispecialty hospital planned at IISc will support the world class clinical training of MD-PhD/MS-PhD students, while providing a platform for advanced research at the intersection of science, engineering and medicine.

In addition to delivering the highest quality care to society at large, the hospital aims to also provide state-of-the-art facilities for diagnostics, treatment and research. There will be 832 ward beds split into general beds and special beds (single and shared occupancy). The hospital will have 19 major Operation Theatres (OTs) for super specialty surgeries, and 6 minor OTs. Advanced radiology and imaging services such as CT, MRI, PET-CT, Mammography, USG and Doppler, and X-ray would be available.

SBI will provide a CSR donation of Rs 24 crore for the establishment of the Orthopaedics Wing, including the required biomedical equipment. The project will be completed by 2025.

The Bagchi-Parthasarathy Hospital will be built within the existing IISc Bengaluru campus, taking full advantage of the co-location with the science and engineering faculties and labs. The hospital will be operational by the end of 2024.

IISc Medical School and Bagchi-Parthasarathy Hospital would go beyond science and solutions and serve as a model of clinical research and training that can be emulated nationwide.
