The newly inaugurated Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Agartala Civil Hospital, located near Jackson Gate in Agartala, has started witnessing a growing number of patients seeking medical services. 

The hospital was inaugurated on July 12, 2026, by Tripura Chief Minister Prof. (Dr.) Manik Saha with the aim of expanding healthcare facilities for the people of the state and reducing pressure on GBP Hospital and IGM Hospital.

The hospital’s Outpatient Department (OPD) is providing services in two shifts. Within a short period of its opening, the hospital has gained public attention, with 65 patients visiting the facility for treatment on a single day.

The 50-bed modern civil hospital has been developed as part of the government’s initiative to strengthen healthcare infrastructure in the state. It is equipped with advanced facilities, including OPD, indoor patient services, emergency services, and various wards with modern amenities. The entire hospital is air-conditioned, and ambulance services have also been arranged for patients.

Currently, five specialist doctors are serving at the hospital. They include specialist gynaecologist Dr. Sushanta Saha, general medicine specialist Dr. Uttam Kumar Barman, dermatologist Dr. Anwesha Roy Bardhan, paediatrician Dr. Arup Roy, and ophthalmologist Dr. Amit Kumar Das. Dental surgeon Dr. Anwesha Bhattacharya is also providing services at the facility.

The hospital has a team of nine nursing officers, one ECG technician, two laboratory technicians, one radiographer, and other supporting staff. Various blood testing facilities are available at the hospital, providing patients with convenient access to diagnostic services.

Built at a cost of ₹20.37 crore, the state-of-the-art civil hospital is expected to open a new chapter in healthcare delivery in Tripura. Apart from local residents, people visiting Agartala from different parts of the state for various purposes will also benefit from the facility.

Chief Minister Prof. (Dr.) Manik Saha, while inaugurating the hospital, said that the government is committed to providing transparent, modern, and corporate-style healthcare services to economically weaker sections of society and ensuring people’s welfare through developmental initiatives.

In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Digital India, steps have also been taken to transform healthcare services digitally. The hospital has introduced Tripura’s first digital registration system, aimed at making patient registration faster, easier, and more efficient.
