Punjab State Medical & Dental Teachers Association (PSMDTA) Patiala unit has hailed the decision of Punjab Government for the budgetary provision of 92 crore rupees for expansion and renovation of the existing infrastructure of Rajindra Hospital and Government Medical College Patiala.
Thanking the Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amrinder Singh and Member Parliament Preneet Kaur, Dr DS Bhullar president and Dr Darshanjit Singh Walia general secretary of the association in a joint press release have said that keeping in view the number of road side accident and other emergency cases being referred to Rajindra Hospital from far off areas, upliftment of the emergency wing and setting up trauma centre will enable the doctors working in the hospital for giving better emergency care and services to the needy patients along with better chances for research related activities to the faculty and young resident doctors.
Appreciating the visionary approach of the Chief Minister for upliftment of medical research related activities in the region, the association has also demanded from the Chief Minister to take some more steps to retain the experienced senior faculty along with infrastructure to give better results for the investment.
During Covid-19 pandemic the hospital had been catering to more than ten districts to deal with Covid emergency cases, said the leaders.
The Association (PSMDTA) has also expressed gratitude to Preneet Kaur for naming the new Super- Specialty as Guru Nanak Dev Hospital honouring the public sentiments along with appeal to open the passage on the main road for easy public access to the new building as there is no proper way right now to reach this part of the hospital.
The PSMDTA will shortly meet Preneet Kaur to discuss some of the long pending demands of the faculty, said Dr Bhullar.
