Railway Employees: A Hope For Rly Employees But More Beds Required | Jaipur News
Jaipur: Almost all beds for patients in indoor wards of Central Hospital remain occupied. The hospital has a capacity of 150 beds, but it has arranged 30 more beds to accommodate more patients. The occupancy of beds remains 110% (additional 30 beds are occupied).
Since patients are coming from different places from the state and outside the state, finding a bed remains a challenging task. “I have come from Ajmer for the treatment. Since it is the biggest railway hospital, better facilities are available for the patients. It is a hope for railway employees,” said Nisar Ahmed, working as a technician in NWR.
Keeping in mind the growing need and influx of more patients, the Central Hospital has chalked out plans for its expansion.
“We are taking measures to increase the number of beds. For the purpose, a third floor will be constructed to increase the number of beds up to 250,” said, Dr P C Meena, principal chief medical director, Central Hospital, NWR Jaipur.
The hospital is expanding its facilities. A super-speciality wing will be constructed to ensure that the patients get all the facilities under one roof including urology operation theatre, cardiac cath lab, angiography, angioplasty and kidney transplant. The hospital will get CT scan machine soon.
The hospital has started facilities of dialysis for the patients some six months ago. So far, more than 1,200 dialysis have been done in-house, saving Rs17.5 lakh revenue. If these patients get the dialysis in private hospitals, the NWR will have to pay Rs17.5 lakh.
The hospital has started treatment related to urology. The work of Rs 4.5crore has been sanctioned in the hospital for new urology and kidney transplant operation theatre. The work is expected to be completed in four months.

Referrals cost Central Hospital of NWR 40cr per year
A railway employee in Jaipur, Suraj Kumar, no longer has to travel to Mumbai for cancer treatment as the Central Hospital of North Western Railway (NWR) now provides chemotherapy services. The hospital recently started offering medical oncology services, including a 12-bed ward for chemotherapy, to prevent revenue loss from referring patients to private hospitals. However, the hospital still lacks certain facilities such as a cath lab for angioplasty and in-house diagnostic services, leading to revenue loss and inconvenience for patients. The NWR is working on developing its own facilities to reduce dependence on private hospitals.
