The Civil Hospital will soon have its intensive care unit (ICU) as the administration has finalised the company for its construction. As per the authorities, the company will start work in a couple of days.

“After the approval from the state government, we had started the tender process. The company has been finalised and the work is likely to start in a day or two,” said Dr Piyush Sharma, Principal Medical Officer (PMO). A sum of Rs 4 crore will be incurred on the 10-bed ICU, he added.

At present, the hospital does not have an ICU, and the patients are referred to the medical college, he said. “We have specialists to run the ICU and after the starting of this unit, the patients will not have to go to the medical college or other institutions for the ICU facility,” said the PMO.

Apart from it, a new x-ray machine of 500ma will be installed in the radiography department, for which the government has already placed the order, the PMO maintained.
