Manipur: RIMS Imphal gets state of art equipment to provide good healthcare

Prof Santa said the main satisfying matter is the ability to serve and provide better health care. Serving as head of the institute in a place like Manipur, one can do a lot as there was not much infrastructure. The RIMS has expanded and upgraded at a pace never seen before, it has a fully functional dental college, and nursing institute. With the opening of a trauma centre and opening of a new emergency centre for children, patients get better service as earlier all were rushing to the casualty.

The newly established MRI centre and the upgrades of all the departments like medicine, psychiatry, neurology, dermatology etc have to be maintained as cleanliness and hygiene are extremely important he said. Every new construction has a clean toilet and drainage system also, he said.

Prof N Sanjib, Superintendent said the staff handling the tests need to be lauded and honoured as they were working for long hours. During the Covid pandemic, the RIMS was one such institute which modernized its infrastructure and provided the best facilities he said.

Dr Subash of the Radiodiagnosis department said the Director has assured to increase the staff including senior residents to meet the demands. Every department refers to the unit for diagnosis resulting in an inability to conduct tests immediately due to a shortage of staff, he said.

Eminent personalities of the state, and leaders of various organizations, attended the function.
