To reduce diagnostic test backlog, SRN set to partner with Cantt Hosp

Prayagraj: In a major healthcare initiative, Swaroop Rani Nehru (SRN) Hospital is set to tie up with Cantonment General Hospital to address the persistent backlog of MRI, CT scan, and ultrasound tests at the premium hospital. An agreement is being finalised between the Cantonment General Hospital, run by the Cantonment Board, and Moti Lal Nehru Medical College. SRN caters not only to Prayagraj but also to neighbouring districts like Fatehpur, Kaushambi, Pratapgarh, Mirzapur, Meja, Bhadohi, Jaunpur, Chitrakoot and Banda. With such a vast catchment area, the hospital remains under tremendous pressure. According to officials, nearly 50 MRI scans are recommended each day at SRN, but the facility can handle only 12 to 15 cases daily. This leads to significant delays, with many patients being given appointment dates stretching up to one or two months. A similar situation prevails for CT scans and ultrasounds, where waiting lists often extend up to a month. To address this concern, the hospital administration is planning to refer patients on the waiting list to Cantonment General Hospital, where the diagnostic tests will be conducted at govt-approved rates. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Importantly, patients will receive their reports, including film results, within 24 hours—significantly reducing the time they currently wait.

Once finalised, this agreement is expected to improve patient care by offering timely diagnostic services and reducing overcrowding at SRN Hospital.
