After CM's Directive, GMCH Set To Submit Proposals For Reviving Nagpur Skin Bank
Nagpur: Following chief minister Devendra Fadnavis 's visit to Govt Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) on April 14 and his assurance to support burn victims of Umred blast, process to establish a fully functional skin bank in Nagpur gathered momentum. The GMCH is now preparing to submit two proposals to revive the much-needed facility. Moved by condition of patients undergoing treatment in GMCH's burn unit, Fadnavis said, "Nagpur caters to many patients from surrounding regions. A dedicated skin bank is a necessity, not a luxury." He also instructed Nagpur collector Vipin Itankar to initiate the process immediately. Responding swiftly, GMCH began finalising two proposals — one for short-term implementation and another as a long-term comprehensive solution. Dr Raj Gajbhiye, dean of GMCH, told TOI, "We are readying two detailed proposals. The first, of ₹8 crore, will be submitted through District Planning and Development Council (DPDC) and can be cleared at the collector level. The second proposal, worth ₹50 crore, is a more expansive plan involving a modern burn ward and skin bank through Directorate of Medical Education & Research (DMER)." Both proposals will soon be placed before the respective authorities for approval, he said. The first proposal is a skin bank at a 10,000 sq ft integrated burn unit, modelled on Singapore General Hospital setup. It will include a sterile processing lab, tissue processing room, deep freezer storage, donor counselling area, and record-keeping office. Linked to it will be two modular burn operation theatres, an 8-bedded ICU, a 12-bedded isolation ward, hydrotherapy dressing rooms, and rehabilitation units. The facility will maintain HVAC-controlled hygiene, backup power, and infection control systems. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Her Outfit Caught Everyone's Eye The Stadium True Edition Undo Nagpur has a history of pioneering in skin banking. The city's first skin bank was established in 2014 at the Orange City Hospital and Research Institute (OCHRI), making it only the fourth such facility in India at the time. It served patients across Vidarbha and neighbouring regions. However, the facility was shut down in 2019 during the pandemic due to high maintenance costs and low donation rates. The equipment was then shifted to GMCH, where efforts to make the bank functional have been ongoing. Dr Surendra Patil, head of plastic surgery at GMCH, said, "We are hopeful of restoring the skin bank soon. Our dean has taken great initiative, and the CM's directive has accelerated the process."
