The initiative also aligns with the broader objectives of the Indian Army to provide comprehensive healthcare services, which include primary, specialist, and super specialist care, though currently excluding traditional systems like Ayurvedic and Unani medicine due to the focus on combat medical requirements.

In a significant stride towards enhancing medical care for military personnel and their families, a new state-of-the-art Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Operating Theatre (OT) complex was inaugurated at the Command Hospital Chandimandir on January 7, 2025. The inauguration was performed by Lieutenant General Manoj Kumar Katiyar, the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C) of the Western Command of the Indian Army, underscoring the commitment to healthcare excellence within the military establishment.

The Command Hospital, located approximately 5 km east of Chandigarh, serves as a critical healthcare facility for the Western Command, which was originally formed in 1920 and re-raised in 1947 post-partition. This new complex is part of the ongoing efforts to modernize and improve medical facilities available to armed forces personnel, reflecting the Indian Army’s dedication to ensuring that its soldiers, veterans, and their families receive the best possible medical attention.

The new ICU/OT complex is equipped with the latest medical technology and facilities, aimed at providing advanced care in emergency situations. This development is a testament to the Indian Army’s commitment to the health and well-being of its personnel, as highlighted by the hashtags #CommittedToCare and #ArmyCares in the announcement on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by @dgafms_mod.

The inauguration signifies not only an upgrade in infrastructure but also reinforces the rich legacy of the Army Medical Corps, which traces its roots back to the formation of the Indian Medical Service in 1612. The ceremony was also acknowledged by various official accounts including @adgpi, @SpokespersonMoD, @westerncomd_IA, and @indiannavy, indicating broad support and recognition within the military community.
