Wenlock Hospital to Procure Buggies for Patient Transport
Wenlock Hospital is getting buggies to help patients move around the large hospital grounds.
The buggies will transport patients between different blocks for tests and treatments, making it easier for them.
Funding for the buggies comes from a local development fund.
The hospital is also planning to build skybridges to connect all the buildings so patients don't have to go outside.
The hospital, celebrating its 175th year, also aims to modernize with plans for an e-hospital, automated drug dispensing, and a new OPD block costing Rs 70 crore, striving to be on par with AIIMS.
