This development aims to enhance emergency medical services in the city, providing critical care for accident victims and patients with severe injuries.
Comprehensive Upgrades and New Facilities
Alongside the trauma centre, another building is currently under construction at the hospital premises. This new structure will house a state-of-the-art blood bank, ensuring a reliable supply of blood products for various medical procedures. Additionally, it will accommodate Diplomate of National Board (DNB) academic programmes, fostering advanced medical education and training for healthcare professionals.
