CCpur, November 21 2020:
Weeks after doctors at Churachandpur District Hospital dug their pocket to set up a dedicated makeshift COVID Operation Theatre, the initiative came into fruition today with its official inauguration.
The drive by local medical practitioners to have a makeshift OT received a boost after the State Medical Directorate gave several equipment to the hospital.
With technicians still engaged in installing the equipment, the OT though officially inaugurated today is expected to be functional from Monday.
Even as doctors dig their pockets, nurses are seen painting the makeshift OT walls as the hospital felt the need to have a separate OT for COVID patients.
This, sources in the hospital said, will ensure there is no gap in caring patients both with or without COVID as a single OT often delay treatment of others whenever a COVID patient goes under the knife.
While Dr Lalzuitluangi, Head of Gynaecology formally inaugurated the new OT, Rev Thangkhangin dedicated it to the Almighty.
