Sanchita Aich Bag | MP | 28 July 2025 | Siliguri: With the aim of enhancing critical care services, a 16-bed Burn Care Unit is set to be established soon at the Trauma Care Unit of North Bengal Medical College and Hospital (NBMCH). According to hospital authorities, work on preparing a Detailed Project Report (DPR) is already underway following official directives. The Central government has sanctioned Rs 1.2 crore for the project.
Hospital sources also revealed that a Burn Care Unit had previously been set up at the Super Speciality Block under the Plastic Surgery department, but it is yet to become functional due to a shortage of specialist doctors. However, with the establishment of the new 16-bed facility, hospital authorities have assured that more doctors will be recruited to address the gap.
A Cath Lab is a specialised medical unit used to perform minimally invasive cardiac procedures involving catheters. It plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating heart and vascular conditions without the need for open-heart surgery.
