Chandigarh: In response to the escalating demand for expanded healthcare services for high-risk pregnancies and neonatal cases, the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGI) Chandigarh, has announced plans to hire 95 new faculty members for its upcoming Advanced Mother and Child Centre (AMCC).
The proposal underscores the significant increase in outpatient visits for antenatal care, surging from 28,000 in 2012 to over 41,000 presently, signifying a notable surge in demand for services. Additionally, the influx of low birth weight and high-risk neonates requiring NICU care has risen by over 250% in the past 15 years. The number of sick newborns referred to PGIMER has also witnessed a substantial rise.
These infants are admitted to PGIMER for specialized care such as incubator support, ventilator assistance, and multi-organ care. However, due to bed shortages, many neonates are unable to secure a NICU bed. Currently, the hospital receives nearly 3,500 sick neonates annually in need of NICU care.
