Recommendation sent to start six super-speciality departments at Udhagamandalam government medical hospital
A recommendation has been forwarded to start six super-speciality departments at the Udhagamandalam government medical hospital; 23 specialty departments currently operate and measures to improve emergency care and infrastructure were discussed.
The dean of the Udhagamandalam (Ooty) Government Medical College stated that a recommendation has been sent to the state government to start six super-speciality departments at the college hospital.
Currently 23 specialty departments operate at the hospital. Cardiac and renal surgeries are already being provided at super-speciality level. Considering the long distance between Udhagamandalam and Coimbatore, which poses challenges for emergency care, starting additional super-speciality units was deemed necessary.
A consultation meeting heard inputs from hospital administrators and consumer groups. The dean noted that registering patients' medical histories via the ABHA/online health records helps deliver correct and timely treatment, and measures are underway to provide a separate auxiliary power substation to avoid power interruptions.
