Anant National University, India’s first DesignX University based in Ahmedabad, has launched a new 24/7 medical service facility on campus in partnership with Blue Circle Medi Services, ensuring round-the-clock access to comprehensive healthcare for all community members. The enhanced facility builds on the previous setup, which included a full-time nurse and a visiting doctor to address ill-health, first-aid and emergencies. The new infirmary features a four-bed daycare unit staffed by qualified nursing professionals and a doctor available around the clock. Equipped with necessary health monitoring tools, the facility can administer IV fluids, perform wound dressings, and provide essential medical treatments, along with a well-stocked inventory of essential medicines for prompt attention to common health issues. Recognizing the importance of advanced medical support, Anant National University has also established tie-ups with nearby hospitals to ensure seamless access to tertiary care when needed. To further 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 that prioritizes 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 places the utmost importance on 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 a wealth of 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. Anant National University has been a pioneer in sustainability and technology education since its inception, offering courses such as Bachelor of Design, Bachelor of Architecture, Master of Design and Master of Architecture. Since 2020, AnantU has been offering the much-coveted Anant Fellowship for Climate Action, a unique one-year immersive global programme for climate change solutionaries. The Fellowship is a member of MIT Solve and is aimed at creating a community of climate change trailblazers who collaborate and cross-pollinate each other’s work with ideas and expertise from across sectors, regions and generations. Using design thinking, all programmes at AnantU provide students with the opportunity to learn and contribute to sustainable solutions. The university’s extensive Maker Space is equipped with tools including a hi-tech digital manufacturing laboratory and electronics workbench.
