Anant National University, India’s first DesignX University in Ahmedabad, has launched a 24/7 medical service on campus in partnership with Blue Circle Medi Services, ensuring comprehensive healthcare access for all community members.
Building on the previous setup that included a full-time nurse and a visiting doctor, the new infirmary features a four-bed daycare unit staffed by qualified nursing professionals and a doctor available around the clock. The facility is equipped with health monitoring tools, can administer IV fluids, perform wound dressings, and provide essential medical treatments. It also maintains a well-stocked inventory of essential medicines for prompt attention to common health issues. For advanced medical support, the university has tie-ups with nearby hospitals for seamless access to tertiary care when needed.
To support the mental well-being of students and staff, a qualified counsellor will be available during the day, with 24/7 access for urgent mental health concerns. This initiative fosters a supportive environment prioritizing both mental and physical health.
Dr. Anunaya Chaubey, Provost of Anant National University, stated, “This initiative ensures round-the-clock on-campus access to good quality healthcare for the well-being of our community.”
Anant National University is dedicated to creating an exceptional academic and living experience that prioritizes the physical and mental well-being of its students and staff. By fostering an environment that encourages open dialogue and actively works to destigmatize mental health issues, the university is setting a new standard in holistic education and care.
Blue Circle Medi Services brings extensive experience to this partnership, working with about 85 leading institutions and universities across India. With over 11 years of expertise in providing healthcare services to residential schools and universities, Blue Circle offers comprehensive medical care and specialized mental health support, making it a trusted partner in safeguarding the health of the university community.
