PGI Chandigarh Resident doctors restrooms to get bunker beds
PGI Chandigarh
Chandigarh: Recognizing that doctors need rest to provide proper patient care, the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research (PGI Chandigarh) has decided that bunker beds will be installed for the resident doctors in their restrooms. The facility is set to be inaugurated on January 26.
The move was made as a result of the overcrowding of resting areas causing fatigue to resident doctors. They had no personal space or proper sleep to recharge their body to work.
With the launch of the bunker beds, the resident doctors will be able to rest in between during duty hours and help them recharge and be more alert during their shifts, ultimately leading to better patient care.

Doctors who treat patients round the clock often suffer from mental and physical breakdowns due to a lack of proper sleep. Working for many hours without sufficient rest wears them out and sometimes causes them to fall ill.
