GMCH-32 to Open New Block, Expand Departments to Improve Care
A new emergency and trauma center is opening at GMCH-32 hospital on August 8th, which will help the hospital treat more patients.
This will also allow the gynaecology department to get bigger, as it currently has a lot of patients, sometimes with two women sharing one bed.
Additionally, GMCH-32 and PGI are building new centers for mothers and children, offering advanced care.
The centers will include more beds and specialized services, helping to improve patient care.
The new facilities aim to provide better care for the region, reducing the strain on the hospitals.
GMCH-32 is set to inaugurate a new Emergency-cum-Trauma Block on August 8.
The new block, with 283 beds, aims to reduce the strain on existing emergency units.
The gynaecology department will expand into the space vacated by the emergency services.
A Mother and Child Centre at GMCH-32, with 251 beds, is expected to open in two years.
PGI is also constructing an Advanced Mother and Child Care Centre, planned for inauguration by the end of the year.
