PGIMER Shifts Neurology Services to New Advanced Centre
18 Apr
Summary
- Neurology and neurosurgery OPDs move to Advanced Neurosciences Centre.
- New centre integrates consultation, diagnostics, and advanced interventions.
- Patient numbers in neurology OPD saw a significant rise from 2021-2023.
Effective April 20, PGIMER Chandigarh's Neurology and Neurosurgery Outpatient Departments (OPDs) will operate from Level 2 of the Advanced Neurosciences Centre. This strategic relocation aims to consolidate neurological care, integrating consultations, diagnostics, and treatments within a single, advanced facility. The move is designed to enhance patient experience and clinical efficiency.
The new six-storey centre, housing approximately 300 beds, will serve patients from Chandigarh and the broader northern region. This expansion addresses a sharp rise in neurological disorder cases, with neurology OPD registrations climbing from 44,862 in 2021 to 82,587 in 2023. The facility will also offer 24-hour emergency services with 15 dedicated beds and an exclusive autonomic laboratory.
Patients accessing the Advanced Neurosciences Centre should use Gate No. 3. The centre's opening is anticipated to ease the patient load at the Emergency and Trauma Centre, particularly for accident cases requiring neurological intervention. Essential services like neuro-critical care will be readily available.
