Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Hospital, operated by Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has announced arthritis diagnosis at concessional rates in its Rheumatology Department.

The newly available tests – Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) and Anti Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (Anti-CCP) – will be offered to patients at nominal fees.

In a meeting on Wednesday, the Executive Committee of the AMC Medical Education Trust decided to offer the AMH test for just ₹510 and the Anti CCP test for ₹310. These charges are 50% less than those charged by private hospitals.

Standing Committee Chairman Devang Dani said, “The AMH and Anti-CCP tests, which cost ₹1500 in private laboratories, will be available at a subsidised rate at SVP Hospital”.

For patients with problems like snoring at night due to obesity and difficulty sleeping at night, treatment will be started in the hospital's Sleep Study Laboratory. The cost will be ₹4000 per night for general and OPD wards. 

Notably, Leprosy rehabilitation and other treatments will be started at Shardaben Hospital in Saraspur, for which an expenditure of ₹25 lakh has been approved.
