In a bid to ramp up its capacity and provide a smooth recovery post surgery, the JJ hospital is constructing a 17-bed Surgery Intensive Care Unit (SICU). Currently, the hospital has only three critical care unit beds for post-surgery patients.

The government-run JJ hospital and medical college is known for treating severe diseases. Patients from all over the city, state and country visit the hospital. However, because of the limited beds for post-surgery care, patients have to wait for a considerable time to get surgeries. There is high dependency on critical post-surgery care. Once the patient is stable, they are shifted to the recovery ward.
