Inaugurating the much awaited Dharmasala and Trauma care at AIIMS Bhubaneswar in virtual mode, the Union Minister said the new facilities will significantly strengthen the overall healthcare infrastructure and elevate the quality of healthcare delivery. AIIMS Bhubaneswar Executive Director Dr. Ashutosh Biswas said the hospital is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art healthcare services, embracing the latest technologies. These cutting-edge facilities will immensely benefit the people of Odisha and neighbouring states, marking a new era in patient care, he said. The fully operational Dharmasala building will be very helpful for the public seeking healthcare service from the national institute, Dr Biswas said. Similarly, the new Trauma Centre equipped with ICU, modular OTs, wards and other high-end equipment will provide quick and efficient emergency services, ensuring timely assistance for patients in critical need. The State-of-the-art new Trauma Centre will be a beacon of hope for those requiring urgent medical attention during traumatic situations, added Dr. Biswas.
