Uttar Pradesh’s healthcare landscape received a vital infusion on Tuesday when Governor Anandi Ben Patel initiated construction of the Patient Relative Accommodation (PRA) at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences. Alongside, she commissioned ultra-modern diagnostic tools in the radiology wing, comprising advanced CT, ultrasound, and X-ray technologies.
Patel’s hands-on inspection underscored her commitment to accessible medical services. The PRA block, she noted, will be a game-changer for outstation patient attendants, especially from marginalized backgrounds. She called for foolproof guidelines ensuring priority access and rigorous hygiene standards, where occupants leave rooms as clean as found.
Cracking down on lax food management, the Governor ordered vigilant oversight of campus eateries and mandatory meal plans. ‘Such measures foster quicker recoveries through order and sanitation,’ she remarked. Proposing a specialized ‘Garbh Sanskar’ center, Patel advocated awareness on balanced diets and positive surroundings during pregnancy to nurture healthy babies.
With Holi festivities nearing, her message resonated: shun harmful chemicals for natural dyes. Prof. (Dr.) C.M. Singh’s jaggery offering symbolized gratitude, while Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak celebrated the upgrades as transformative for state health, spotlighting Lohia Institute’s exemplary contributions to medicine and patient welfare nationwide.
