Chandigarh, February 5

The Department of Hepatology, PGIMER, today inaugurated the renovated Liver Intensive Care Unit (LICU) Complex.

The complex is equipped with an air-handling unit which has high-efficiency particulate air filter and provides protection from infection and contamination from airborne microorganisms.

New devices — monitors, blood gas analyser, compression devices, syringe pumps — have been added to the complex to provide liver cirrhosis patients with high-quality care.

The PGI Director, who inaugurated the complex, said quality care to patients of liver disease is essential and appreciated the LICU team.

Dr Madhumita Prem Kumar, who was supervising the upgrade of the complex, thanked the UT Administration and the engineering team, who helped complete the project in an efficient and time-bound manner. — TN

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
