GREATER NOIDA: The Government Institute of Medical Sciences (
GIMS) in
Greater Noida has started
non-Covid treatment, including in-patient department (IPD) surgeries for which prior RT-PCR tests are being conducted. Being the only government tertiary centre after the District Hospital, the hospital started the facility following repeated inquiries from patients in Greater Noida.
In the first instance, a lady with a very low haemoglobin count was successfully treated and a child with defective fracture treatment was provided corrective surgery. Patient footfall at the hospital’s non-Covid OPD has also started to rise with 100 cases per day.
“We have started
non-Covid treatments from January 1, as we were getting many patients from Greater Noda requiring medical attention. In the past one week, we have treated one woman with a very low hemoglobin count of 2 as she had suffered extensive bleeding during a delivery at a local centre. We treated her with three units of blood. Similarly, a young boy was treated for a fracture which was not fixed properly,” said Brigadier (retd) Dr RK Gupta director GIMS.
Additionally, the hospital is going to start routine surgeries from January 11. “Till now, we were treating only Covid patients and conducting surgeries, including cesarean deliveries of Covid infected mothers,” said Dr Gupta.
Routine OPD services of orthopedic, paediatric, dental, ENT, medicine, psychiatry, gynecology have all started at the institute.
