Sekharjit further said that with an eye on upgrading RIMS to the status of a Deemed University, a Nursing College has already been set up and Manipur University has given its approval for affiliation in this regard.
From next year, a Dental College would be made functional and necessary construction works in this regard are underway.
In the domain of medical treatment too, new and sophisticated CT scan machine, X-ray and ECG machines have been installed in all the wards of the hospital right from casualty ward onward.
So, there is no need to go outside the hospital to undergo such tests any more, Prof Sekharjit observed.
Plans are also afoot for constructing a new OPD complex and the improved ICU has been made operational, the Director disclosed, adding that conduct of routine operation which had remained suspended on account of shortage of Oxygen following prolonged imposition of economic blockade along the National Highways too has been resumed in RIMS.
