KGMU Orthopaedic Surgery Dept to soon add 120 beds
King George's Medical University
Lucknow: Giving a boost to the existing bed matrix, King George’s Medical University (KGMU) has announced the addition of 120 new beds to its orthopaedic surgery department increasing the total bed count to 280. The facility is all set to make the addition after the elections and the step will make it the largest facility of its kind in any hospital.
The expansion aims to reduce waiting times and improve access to care for patients with bone-related issues. Currently, the department’s 160 beds are fully occupied, often leading to prolonged waits for treatment. The new beds will accommodate more patients promptly, facilitating quicker and more efficient medical attention.
According to the Times of India, the additional beds include 60 dedicated to paediatric orthopaedics and another 60 for sports injury orthopaedics, addressing specific needs within the broader orthopaedic discipline. These beds will be added to the nearby block adjacent to the Rehabilitation and Artificial Limb Centre (RALC) building. “In next two months, eight more faculty members will join and new nurses have already been recruited, therefore there will be no issue in operation of these beds,” said Dr Ashish.
