GUWAHATI, Aug 19: The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has made significant strides in enhancing healthcare services across its network of hospitals, reflecting its strong commitment to the health and well-being of its employees, their families, and the general public. Under the leadership of Chetan Kumar Shrivastava, general manager/NFR, the railway has invested significantly in modernising hospital facilities, equipping them with advanced diagnostic tools, operating theatres (OTs), and Intensive Care Units (ICUs). The recent introduction of executive cabins at the Central Hospital, Maligaon, exemplifies this effort. Such advancements have been pivotal in ensuring timely and accurate diagnoses, thereby improving patient treatment at its hospitals.
The Central Hospital/NFR at Maligaon has reaffirmed its commitment to exceptional healthcare services with its recent efforts in aiding the recovery of a major burn victim. Dr P Maheswari and Dr BP Deka of the hospital presented a Samsung tablet worth Rs 35,000, along with other gifts, to the young patient, whose recovery was significantly supported by a special ICU facility conceived and developed by NFR. This achievement is one of many milestones for the hospital, which has undergone substantial upgrades with advanced diagnostic tools and equipment, particularly in OTs, CSSD, MGPS, and ICUs. Specialised services in cardiology, paediatrics, nephrology, and oncology have been introduced, reducing the need for patients to seek care outside the region. Additionally, new AYUSH and RELHS clinics were inaugurated on January 26, 2024, and dormitory facilities for patient bystanders have been extended.
