Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical College Hospital to Launch IPD Services Next Month

The authorities have also reached out to the district administration and departments such as transport, requesting an increase in the frequency and number of buses on the route to assist patients and their attendants. This will make it easier for patients and their attendants to travel to the hospital from various parts of the district.

The hospital authorities have emphasized the need to establish a Critical Care Unit, modeled after the Trauma Centre, to treat patients in critical condition following accidents. The management has already raised this issue with the state government, stressing the importance of a dedicated trauma care unit to strengthen the region's emergency healthcare services. Additionally, the hospital is grappling with a shortage of specialist doctors, which further hampers its ability to deliver comprehensive care.

Located approximately 20 km from the district headquarters, this is the second government institution in the area, following the ESIC Medical College and Hospital. The government has invested significant resources in restoring and upgrading the hospital’s infrastructure. Over the past four years, Rs 47.25 crore has been spent on the construction and repair work to make the hospital functional. This investment has played a crucial role in transforming what was once an abandoned private facility into a state-of-the-art government-run institution. The hospital was established after the state government took over the defunct private hospital in 2015.

The hospital also serves as a critical educational institution, with the first batch of 100 MBBS students admitted in 2022. This year, the third batch of medical students joined the college this year.

Dr BM Vashisht, the Director of the hospital, stated that the IPD services were expected to begin next month, as all necessary norms had been met.
