Civil Hospital's New OPD Block Boosts Patient Care
31 Aug
Summary
- A new three-storey outpatient department block is now operational.
- Five clinical departments have moved to the new facility.
- The expansion accommodates postgraduate medical courses and reduces congestion.
Dr BR Ambedkar State Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS), Phase 6, has activated its new three-storey outpatient department (OPD) block. This significant development shifts five key clinical departments to the new facility, including medicine, ENT, respiratory medicine, surgery, and dermatology. The new block is designed to accommodate an increasing patient load, which averages between 1,800 to 2,000 individuals daily, and alleviates previously faced space constraints.
The operationalization of the new OPD block is pivotal for the medical college's application for postgraduate seats in surgery, orthopaedics, medicine, and gynaecology. Junior and senior resident provisions have been made within the new facility. Concurrently, the vacated spaces in the old OPD area are being redeveloped to enlarge existing consultation and diagnostic sections, including orthopaedics, homeopathy, and ECG services.
Further campus enhancements are in progress, with the medical college constructing private rooms, lecture theatres, a medical education unit, and a multidisciplinary research unit. A central sterile supply department is also being built. Dr Amit Aggarwal, additional medical superintendent, stated the new block will enhance consultation space and ease congestion for both patients and staff.
