AIIMS BBSR to add 30 modular operation theaters soon
All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Bhubaneswar is going to add 30 modular operation theaters (OTs) with latest technology within a year. As a result of this, patients will not be required to wait for their turn to be operated. Currently, the five years old health institute has eight regular operation theatres catering to 12 surgical departments which are insufficient to meet the number of surgery cases. The institute is aiming to complete launching of 25 modular OTs within 200 days and other five OTs in next 200 days. Moreover, two latest machines will be installed in the hospital for treatment of cancer patients. These machines are HELA-High energy linear accelerator for radiotherapy and PETCT for diagnosis of cancer patients. Additional ICU beds are being put to accommodate more patients. An in-house canteen is also coming up for patients and their attendants.
