We have successfully commissioned a lift in our premises which is very useful for transporting patients to first or second floor or to bring patients down to the ground floor. We have also installed 16 CCTV cameras at strategic locations in the premises for better security. A long standing need has been fulfilled this year with the commissioning of NICU in the first floor ward with 2 baby cots to take care of newborn babies. The NICU project has been kindly sponsored by Mr. K.K. Rai.
We have added a hormone testing machine in our pathology laboratory which facilitates our patients especially in testing for thyroid. We have also added a skin photo therapy machine in Dermatology department which is extremely useful for the treatment of a variety of dermatological diseases. This machine has been bought thanks to the benevolent donation of Mr. Siddarth Bhattacharya.
