Top hospital on the cards at Panchkula
Chandigarh, June 1 Though the plan envisaged by the state government is still in a nascent stage, sources said the area, which had been recently acquired by the Shri Mata Mansa Devi Shrine Board near the Mansa Devi complex after a litigation in the Supreme Court, will be brought up as an all-in-one medical centre with hospital and research facilities of the level of the PGI. A case had been filed in the apex court against the acquisition of land, on which earlier a museum and some related facilities had been planned. The conceptualised plan, while providing world-class medical facilities for people in the area, also intends improving the existing model of the PGI, with its singular focus on a particular branch of medical science. In the proposed model, the best of all branches of medicine will be combined with world-class expertise in related fields of knowledge under one roof. Taking advantage of the best knowledge in all fields of medicine, like allopathy, Ayurveda, homoeopathy, Unani, Tibetan and acupressure the hospital will bring together experts in all these fields together as is the latest trend all over the world. Though the exact plans have not yet been worked out, sources said the government would be a major stakeholder in the project that would also invite private partnership by floating global tenders. The hospital, besides offering these unique health facilities, will also reduce load on the PGI which on an average gets 10,000 visitors, including 3,000 patients, in its OPDs everyday. |

Ropar DC in Mohali twice a week
Mohali, June 2 Taking to mediapersons during his first day of office in Mohali today, Mr Grewal said he had chosen the PWD guest house in Sector 71 for this purpose. Mr Grewal said most of the problems faced by Mohali residents related to Punjab Urban Planning and Development Authority (PUDA) and the Municipal Council but he would be acting as the facilitator to help the public. “We have already banned the sale of cut fruit, open sweets, fruit juices or any other food item being sold in unhygienic conditions. The health department has formed teams that would inspect the various blocks in collaboration with the Municipal Council staff and implement these orders,” he said adding that ban on smoking in public places would also be strictly enforced in the coming days. Mr Grewal said he would be utilising the small saving award money for filling critical gaps in the district, especially for the operation and maintenance of existing projects. |
