PGI Chandigarh
Chandigarh:The premier health institute, the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGI Chandigarh), has decided to include upgraded operation theatres in the upcoming new critical care block that would treat patients suffering from serious life-threatening diseases.
Currently, the institute is suffering from a shortage of operation theatre tables, due to which the administration decided to launch upgraded operation theatres in the new critical care block. Besides addressing the immediate shortage, it will also improve PGIMER's overall surgical capacity.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGI Chandigarh) plans to establish a 150-bedded exclusive critical care block under PM Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM).
