Future Plans for Inpatient Services
In the next phase, the hospital will start admitting patients. In 2014, a decision was made to establish this super specialty facility with nine specialty departments, providing advanced treatment for a wide range of patients.
Facilities and Staff
The hospital has 222 beds and 50 intensive care units, as well as newly appointed doctors to support the expanded services. Notably, the Plastic Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Neurology (two doctors), Urology, and Nephrology departments have expanded their medical staff. However, the administration is concerned as the Gastroenterology, Clinical Hematology, and Endocrinology departments still lack specialists.
Initially, Vimsar’s super specialty hospital opening will improve healthcare access and subsequently provide advanced medical facilities to the region. Furthermore, the management plans to gradually expand its services over time.
