Reviewing the to-date status in regard to the commencing of Organ Transplant (Renal) Programme at the 230-bedded tertiary care hospital at Kakryal, the GB emphasised the need for commencing this much needed facility as soon as the licence for the purpose is secured from J&K Government.
The meeting was informed that the SMVDNSH also performed surgeries of seven children of the state under the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram who were suffering from various heart ailments, while more such surgeries have been planned in the coming months. The GB also noted with satisfaction the functioning of the hospital which has been treating a lot of critical and moribund cases most successfully.
The recently reconstituted GB had an analysis of the feedback and suggestions from the patients and their attendants and stressed that prompt action should be taken on each and every feedback as this would go a long way in continuously improving the delivery systems in the hospital.
In this context, the need was felt to organise structured programmes for upgrading soft skills of the staff on continuous basis.
The GB also discussed the arrangements being put in place for organising 3rd anniversary celebrations of the hospital on April 19, 2019.
