The Centre has currently 70 beds, a state-of-the art operation theatre, three ICU wards and one general ward. The Trauma Care Centre will start functioning in full steam as when 30 more beds and 20 ventilators are added to it in April, sources said.
The emergency patients are getting speedy treatments mainly due to Interventional Radiology, CT Scan, X-Ray, Sonography, MRI and other necessary facilities available under one roof.
