Investigation of serious diseases will now be done in the district itself, about 9 lakh people and patients from surrounding districts will benefit Raipur, May 21, 2026//On the occasion of Sushasan Tihar, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai virtually launched a 32-slice state-of-the-art CT scan machine at the District Hospital Surajpur. This facility has been established at a cost of approximately Rs 449.99 lakh through the Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Chhattisgarh, CGMSC, and Chief Minister's Government Hospital Transformation Fund (CMPHTF). Chief Minister Shri Sai said that this initiative will provide new strength to health services in the district and will play an important role in providing better and timely treatment to common citizens. This state-of-the-art CT scan facility will prove to be a significant achievement in the direction of expansion and strengthening of health services in Surajpur district. With the commencement of the CT scan facility, about 9 lakh 11 thousand population of Surajpur district, as well as patients from neighboring districts, will directly benefit. Now, investigations of complex diseases such as head injury in road accidents, bleeding or clotting in the brain, cancer, tumor, stroke (paralysis), chest infections, serious abdominal diseases, and epilepsy will be possible in the district hospital itself. Until now, patients were referred to Ambikapur for these investigations, which caused both time and financial difficulties. With the start of the new facility, patients will not need to go out and CT scan facility will be available at a much lower rate compared to private centers. A 24x7 team of radiologists and trained technicians has also been deployed in the District Hospital, ensuring continuous and quality services to the patients. According to the Health Department, this facility will reduce the financial burden on patients and their families and further strengthen access to better health services in the district.
