The institute is also working on enhancing its existing facilities. SGPGI has recently completed the construction of the Advanced Diabetic Center on schedule. The new facility will offer cutting-edge treatment options for diabetic patients.
The recruitment drive for the new departments has already generated considerable interest, with the highest number of applications received for positions in Anesthesiology, followed by Head and Neck Surgery and Infectious Diseases.
This expansion is part of the larger effort by the government to enhance advanced medical treatment facilities in Uttar Pradesh.
