PGI Chandigarh to start round-the-clock MRI facility for emergency patients soon
PGI Chandigarh
Chandigarh: Amid the increasing number of patients at emergency wards of the premier health institute, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGI Chandigarh), a 24/7 MRI facility is expected to be launched soon.
The facility will address the rising emergency cases in the hospital and help minimise the waiting period of the patients. Recently, patients who visit the hospital's trauma centre and emergency wing often wait in a long queue to get an MRI done.
With the launch of the round-the-clock MRI facility, the process will become faster and easier for patients. Currently, there are 4 MRI machines which are available from 8 am to 2 am in an emergency.
Until the new launch, PGI authorities have decided to use the existing resources and extend the working hours for emergency patients to control the waiting period of the patients.
