HOSMAC, Asia’s leading hospital planning, management, and design consultancy, overseeing the turn-key design consultancy services of central India’s premier eye care centre, Madhav Netralaya Eye Hospital & Research Centre. The foundation stone ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Madhav Netralaya’s architectural vision seamlessly integrates functionality with aesthetics, prioritizing patient-centric care. Its elliptical eye-shaped architecture is strategically aligned along the east-west axis to maximize natural light towards the north while reducing heat exposure. The building's rooftop solar panels have an installed capacity of 550 kWp, showcasing HOSMAC’s commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency in healthcare architecture. The hospital’s facade is an eyelid which features curved sandstone walls, protecting the interior clinical spaces from noise and dust pollution. The stone is richly coloured, adding visual depth and textures that are contrasted with panoramic windows.
Spread across 5.8 acres, this 250-bed super-specialty eye hospital will offer world-class yet affordable eye care services. With a built-up area of approximately 4 lakh sq. ft., the institute will feature 10 specialized OPDs, 2 dedicated OPDs for community services (Samudayik Sewa), 14 cutting-edge modular operation theatres (OTs), including a dedicated Lasik Surgery Unit, an Eye Bank, and a comprehensive Research Centre. The BARN OT features an open-plan surgical area, where multiple patients are treated in dedicated spaces alongside one another, with each station equipped with an ultra-clean air canopy to minimize the risk of infection.
To advance ophthalmic research and treatment, the hospital is benchmarked against leading global institutions and will incorporate advanced facilities such as a Gene Therapy Unit, Biorepository, Genetic Lab, Clinical Trials Centre, Outreach Camp Office, Simulation Lab, and Vision Research Centre. The facility will also include a conference hall, learning centre, and an Ayush department to ensure a holistic approach to eye care.
HOSMAC’s expertise in hospital planning and design will play a crucial role in ensuring that Madhav Netralaya not only meets international healthcare standards but also integrates sustainable practices for a future-ready medical institution.
Dr Vivek Desai, founder & managing director, HOSMAC, said, “ We believe in designing healthcare institutions that are not only patient-centric but also equipped with the latest advancements in medical technology. Madhav Netralaya is set to be a world-class facility, ensuring accessible, high-quality, and specialized ophthalmic care for all.”
