Ahmedabad Civil Hospital , found in Asarwa , India , was established in 1841 , and is one of the oldest and most medically advanced hospitals in the country . The hospital campus is spread over 110 acres and has 44 wards with 2,800 beds . It is the largest public hospital in Asia , admitting around 70,000 patients annually and conducting 26,000 surgeries and 6,500 deliveries . In 2008 , the World Bank received a proposal for funding from the hospital to increase its bed capacity to 4,800 by constructing a new nine story building on the existing campus grounds . However , this plan has yet to be realised .
