The hospital had earned a distinguished place through the devotion and dedication of its medical staff in serving patients. As a result, 80 percent of heart patients in the Vindhya region were being treated there. He said the cardiology department would be made a centre of excellence with more facilities. All kinds of medical equipment were being provided for treatment, and the recruitment of doctors and other staff was being done on priority. The Deputy CM took stock of the medical facilities provided to patients by doctors of the urology, neurology and nephrology departments running at the hospital.
