Navdunia Representative, Bhopal. Heart patients will not be treated in the state’s largest government hospital Hamidia for the next three months, due to which patients across the state will be affected. Actually, the work of shifting of Cathlab will start in Hamidia from 15th November. And for this the company has asked for three months time.
The problem increases in winter
In comparison to summer, the cases of heart attack increase three to four times in winter i.e. from December to February. During this period, 25 to 30 patients undergo heart related procedures every day in Hamidia Hospital, which has the facility of Cathlab. Due to closure of Cathlab, patients will have to depend on private hospitals, where they will have to pay huge amount for treatment. In such a situation, poor patients may have to face problems.
Budget also approved
Let us tell you that in January, the first proposal was made to shift the Cathlab operated in the old building to the third floor of the new building A. After this, five different plans were made in five months. In the end only the first proposal was approved. For this the concerned agency has asked for 120 to 150 days time. A budget of Rs 50 lakh has also been approved for this work.
Civil work will be completed by 15th November
According to PIU Sub Engineer KC Sharma, the civil work will be completed by November 15. After this the agency can start shifting. Currently, civil work is going on on the third floor of the new building for the Cathlab, which is closed for the last four days. AC ducting design is going on here near PIU. When this design is made, the false ceiling will be removed. Only after this the Cathlab will be shifted here.
