Introduction # Hospital |
On July 16, 1993, HMG handed over 150
bedded Eastern Regional Hospital to
BPKIHS. The Institute raised the
strength of beds to 210 with added
facilities like CCU, ICU and observation
beds. With the new hospital complex the
bed strength is further raised to 646.
Meticulous planning has gone into
developing the infrastructure
facilities, organized in a fashion that
patient flow is unidirectional and the
facilities are available with maximum
ease and at a short distance.
From a conceptual view, a large
screening or General Out Patient
Department (GOPD) has been provided
which forms the initial entry point. It
contains all the facilities needed as
the first point of contact-general
medical officers attend to the patients
and take care of diagnosis and
treatment, dressing and plaster service,
help from health educators and social
workers and readily available pharmacy.
The conceptual frame work of screening
or GOPD is the first of its type in this
region. The cases requiring further
attention are along sent to various
sections of OPD, where consultants of
different levels are available. Special
clinics (Pain clinic, diabetics,
cardiac) and pay clinics function in the
afternoon. OPD services are provided
from 8:00AM to 1:00PM and 2:00Pm to

patients and emergency services to 50
persons are provided on an average
daily. Out reach clinics are being
organized in the various centers of the
teaching districts.
The OPD Block is interconnected at

of indoor and outdoor patients can be
effectively met. One wing of this block
