The opening of an ultra-modern 80-bed Mother & Child Hospital in Dhuri by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was a big step forward for the state’s government healthcare system. The new facility’s goal is to offer specialised maternal and pediatric treatments closer to home, so people don’t have to rely as much on private hospitals.
DON'T MISS
The hospital has state-of-the-art facilities that are meant to satisfy the growing healthcare needs of Sangrur district and adjacent areas.
Better Services for Moms and Newborns
The hospital has fully equipped labour rooms, modular operating rooms, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and emergency care services. Officials said that the facility will provide medical help 24 hours a day for high-risk pregnancies and problems with newborns.
It is hoped that modern diagnostic tools and skilled medical staff will help find problems early and treat them quickly. The project fits with the state’s goal of lowering the number of deaths among mothers and babies.
The government’s push for healthcare that is easy to get
Mann spoke at the opening and stressed the government’s promise to improve the infrastructure of public healthcare. He said that the quality of care should not depend on how much money a family has. The new hospital’s goal is to provide reliable and economical services to those who reside in rural and semi-urban areas.
Punjab has been progressively spending more on healthcare in recent years, with a focus on improving district hospitals and adding more primary care facilities.
Help for People Who Live Nearby
Before, people who lived in Dhuri and nearby villages had to go to bigger towns to get specialist maternity care. The new hospital should make that easier and give them quick care in case of an emergency.
Healthcare experts think that these kinds of places can cut down on wait times for treatment, which often leads to issues that could have been avoided.
