Chennai: A new multi-storey block at Government Stanley Hospital will house all emergency and trauma care facilities under one roof, making it the hospital’s crisis centre. Work on the 6-storey building is nearing completion, and the Public Works Department (PWD) will hand it over to the hospital by the end of this month, officials said.
“The hospital caters to a large population in north Chennai. When the building opens, it will boost emergency and trauma care as it will have state-of-the-art facilities, including zero-delay wards, operation theatres and postoperative wards, all under one roof,” said hospital dean S. Geethalakshmi.
At present, patients who come to the emergency ward need to be shifted to the central operation theatre, located in another block. |
