"In just seven years, our OPD services have nearly tripled, rising from 1,27,764 patients in 2019 to 4,01,869 in 2025. This growth reflects the trust Ahmedabad residents place in SVP Hospital," officials said.​

Inpatient admissions (IPD) have similarly increased from 14,167 in 2019 to 31,332 in 2025, while surgical procedures rose from 4,082 to 8,999 over the same period.​

Regarding surgical services, 4,082 surgeries were performed in 2019. In 2020, 2,168 surgeries were performed, and in 2021, 1,428 surgeries were conducted.​

In 2022, the number of surgeries rose to 3,584, and in 2023, to 6,893. In 2024, this number further increased to 8,153, and in 2025, it reached 8,999 surgeries, indicating substantial growth in surgical services over recent years.​

Laboratory tests increased from 1,65,874 in 2019 to 7,64,135 in 2025, and radiology investigations grew from 68,418 to 2,28,092.​

Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, 75,617 beneficiaries received treatment between 2019 and 2025.​

"This represents the highest number of beneficiaries served by a single multi-specialty hospital under the scheme in Ahmedabad," officials added.​

The state government's 'Road Traffic Accident (RTA) - Vehicle Accident Assistance Scheme' provided free treatment to 6,810 patients over the same period.​

In 2025 alone, 2,065 accident victims were treated, up from 687 in 2019.​

While the growth is commendable, I hope this expansion in numbers is matched by an improvement in patient care quality. Sometimes in our public hospitals, the focus on quantity can lead to long waiting times and rushed consultations. Just a thought.

The free treatment for accident victims under the RTA scheme is a lifesaver. Literally. My cousin was treated there after a bike accident last year and we didn't have to worry about the bills. Such schemes are a blessing for middle-class families.

Tripling OPD in 7 years is no small feat! The data on lab tests and radiology shows they've built serious diagnostic capacity. This should be a model for other municipal hospitals across India. Great work, SVP!

As an Ahmedabad resident, I've seen SVP Hospital's reputation grow. People from nearby villages also come here now. The trust is real. But the authorities must ensure the infrastructure keeps pace with this patient load. Jai Hind!

The numbers are staggering! 14.5 lakh treatments... Wishing the entire team the very best. This shows what is possible when a public institution is managed well. Hope they continue this trajectory. 👏
