Harsh Vardhan to lay down foundation stone of National Sports injury Centre
New Delhi : Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan is scheduled to lay down the foundation stone of the expanded facility of Sports Injury Centre on August 30.
The facility would offer state-of-art medical aid to the sportspersons across the country.
In 2017, the Union Health Ministry had proposed to expand the existing facility of Sports Injury Centre against the increasing OPD rush of a sportsperson. For this, the health ministry had allotted an additional three-acre land to the sports injury center for commissioning of national sports medicine center.
As of now, the existing facility of sports injury center is witnessing a large number of patients with OPD rush increased by multiple folds.
"When sports injury center was started in 2010, it saw just about 6500 patients in the OPD. However, in 2018- at least 1 lakh 20 thousand patients were seen by our doctors in the OPD. So the burden of patients is huge. The expansion of the institute will give patients state-of-art treatment in sports medicine both in pre-habilitation and rehabilitation," said a senior official requesting anonymity.
