 Early Times Report
JAMMU, Mar 12: The 55th Governing Body meeting of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspeciality Hospital (SMVDNSH), Kakryal, was held here today in which the functioning of the hospital was reviewed in detail.
The meeting took several important decisions to further enhance the operational capacities of the hospital, wherever required, for providing highest standards of patient care at the 230-bedded tertiary care hospital in tune with the emerging requirements. In furtherance of these objectives, the Governing Body, interalia, decided to augment the ICU facilities in the SMVDNSH by increasing the number of critical care beds and further augmenting the dialysis facilities for facilitating the patients requiring dialysis procedures.
It is pertinent to mention here that the Hospital currently has a 24-bedded ICU, besides a separate PICU and NICU.
However, in view of the current ICU functioning at full capacity, the GB took a conscious decision to add another 14 beds to strengthen the ICU. Dr. Ashok Bhan, Member, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board and Chairman of the Governing Body of the SMVDNSH, chaired the meeting, which was attended by Maj. Gen. S. K. Sharma (Retd), Member Shrine Board; Simrandeep Singh, Chief Executive Officer, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board; Viren Shetty, Group Chief Operating Officer, NH; and Cdr. Navneet Bali, Director, Northern Region, NH; who all are the Members of the Governing Body. |
