Ranchi sadar hosp to start CT scan services this week
1 2 Ranchi: The Ranchi sadar hospital will roll out CT scan services later this week for its patients, its management said on Monday. A three-day trial run of the machine, which will be operated under public-private partnership (PPP) mode, began on Sunday. "The facility will be fully functional and open to patients after the trial. An MRI machine will also be installed in 15 days," civil surgeon Dr Prabhat Kumar said. The hospital's MoU with Krishna Diagnostics mandate that all patients admitted under the Ayushman Bharat health scheme will be provided with free CT scan services. For others, tests will be conducted based on the Central Govt Health Scheme (CGHS) rates, beginning from Rs 1,050. Dr Kumar said, "An added benefit of the partnership is the revenue-sharing clause outlined in the MoU. Krishna Diagnostics will share 15% of its profits with the Sadar Hospital. These funds would contribute to the development of hospital infrastructure and services, benefiting patients." The hospital would also set up a Cath Lab for cardiac care. This facility, being constructed at a cost of around Rs 8 crore, will provide advanced treatment options for heart patients, reducing the need for referrals to private hospitals. Lauding the move, Rekha Devi of Kanke said, "I was delaying a test as the price of CT scans in private centres was beyond my reach. Undergoing the test at the sadar hospital will save both money and time."
