Urgent Care: Opd Slips In Red For Patients Needing Urgent Care, Other Initiatives In Place | Jaipur News
Jaipur: SR Goyal Government Hospital at Sethi Colony in the city has taken a unique initiative of issuing OPD slips printed in red ink to patients who need urgent and immediate treatment. These slips are considered valid at other government-run hospitals such as SMS Hospital, Zanana Hospital and JK Lon Hospital.
Bedsheets of different colours are also being used in the wards of the hospital, commonly known as Sethi Colony Hospital, daily to ensure they remain clean. A PICU and an NICU are running well in the hospital with the help of doctors from JK Lon Hospital.
The Sethi Colony Hospital administration is taking a number of measures to increase facilities for patients. “For treatment of infants and paediatric patients, a team of doctors from JK Lon Hospital is deployed here. An associate professor from Zanana Hospital visits our hospital for maternal and gynaecology-related treatment,” said Dr Govardhan Meena, medical superintendent of SR Goyal Government Hospital.
The hospital runs a paediatric and neonatal ICU and has brought a CB NAAT machine for diagnosis of tuberculosis. The hospital has also formed an infection control committee to take timely measures for preventing the spread of infection, said Dr Meena.
There is, however, no blood bank or a blood storage centre at the hospital as the use of blood here is not enough to fulfill the norms for such a centre. Patients in need of blood have to get it from SMS Hospital or other government hospitals.
A grievance redressal mechanism has also been initiated in the hospital. “We have made public e-mail addresses for grievances related to treatment, medicines or tests, and we try to resolve the issues immediately,” added Dr Meena. CT scan and MRI facilities are not available at this hospital. Patients requiring them have to visit other government hospitals. Sethi Colony Hospital has two ambulances and drivers for transporting patients to higher centres of treatment.
