Relocated cancer ward inaugurated at Patna Medical College and Hospital
Patna: The superintendent of the hospital, Dr Indra Shekhar Thakur has recently inaugurated the relocated and reconstructed cancer ward of Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH).
The cancer ward was previously located at the premises of the Patna metro's under-construction underground station. However, it has recently been shifted to another stable location and has been reconstructed to include 20 beds, a doctor's chamber, an outpatient department and a waiting area.
The fully air-conditioned ward with 20 beds has become functional in a full-fledged manner from Tuesday. Dr Thakur also informed that the construction of the chief minister’s dream project of establishing a 5,500-bed cancer department is underway and will be completed soon, reports a daily.
The PMCH received the new building made from a prefabricated construction near the gynaecology and inpatient unit before the cancer ward was pulled down.
