SHILLONG: The North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS) has said it is installing the gas manifold systems in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit and the Paediatric Ward.
In a clarification on a report that appeared in the newspaper, NEIGRIHMS said on Tuesday the installation work may take seven days.
To avoid inconvenience to patients during this period, the patients are being diverted to other hospitals, it said. Also, the Department of Paediatrics is facing shortage of faculty after two faculty members working on ad hoc completed their term and the two newly selected faculty members at the level of assistant professors have sought extension of time for joining.
The institute is making all efforts to have the faculty in position, besides improving the overall healthcare services, NEIGRIHMS said in its statement.
Meanwhile, to tide over the crisis of skilled professionals, the institute is proposing to start postgraduate programmes in six departments — dermatology, ENT, ophthalmology, pharmacology, forensic medicine and biochemistry.
The institute also upgraded the lecture theatre-I and was inaugurated by the NEIGRIHMS director in the presence of secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, at Nirman Bhavan in New Delhi on Tuesday.
