The South district hospital has launched new MRI scanning and cardiology facilities, enhancing diagnostic and cardiac care for the local population.
The South district hospital has officially opened dedicated MRI and cardiology departments, marking a significant upgrade in its medical infrastructure. The new MRI suite enables high‑resolution imaging for a range of conditions, while the cardiology wing is equipped to handle routine and specialized heart care.
These additions aim to reduce the need for patients to travel to larger urban centers for advanced diagnostics and cardiac treatment. Local residents can now access state‑of‑the‑art imaging and cardiac services within their own district, potentially shortening treatment timelines.
Hospital administrators noted that the facilities were installed following a government health‑sector grant aimed at strengthening secondary‑level hospitals. Staff training programs have been conducted to ensure optimal use of the equipment and adherence to safety protocols.
The inauguration is expected to improve overall health outcomes in the region, particularly for patients with chronic illnesses that require regular imaging or cardiac monitoring.
