Raipur: Healthcare facilities worth Rs 7.19 crore were inaugurated in Bilaspur on Sunday under NTPC Sipat's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. The upgrades aim to enhance infrastructure at the Kumar Saheb Late Shri Dilip Singh Judev Government Super Speciality Hospital and the Chhattisgarh Institute of Medical Sciences (CIMS).
Facilities at Super Speciality Hospital
The project includes facilities worth Rs 4.27 crore at the super speciality hospital. These feature an advanced blood centre, microbiology and hormone laboratories, and an AI-based microscopy system. The blood centre is the first of its kind in Chhattisgarh, designed to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.
Equipment at CIMS
An additional Rs 2.92 crore was allocated for equipment at CIMS. The institute received 26 machines across eight departments, including colour Doppler systems, automatic chemiluminescence analyzers, dental chairs, OT tables, and mortuary freezers.
Officials stated that the upgrades will strengthen diagnostic services and enable advanced medical procedures locally. This development is expected to reduce the need for patients to travel elsewhere for treatment.
