MARGAO: A comprehensive review of SGDH was conducted this morning with a strong focus on strengthening diagnostic infrastructure, patient care systems, and early disease detection capabilities. The Minister also interacted with OPD and IPD patients to assess service delivery and identify areas for improvement.
A key highlight of the review was the upcoming MRI facility at SGDH, which is expected to become operational by July. Once commissioned, the unit is set to significantly upgrade the hospital’s diagnostic capabilities, enabling faster, more accurate imaging services and reducing the need for patients to travel outside for advanced scans.
The ICU, which manages around 60–70 admissions every month, continues to report strong recovery trends, with nearly 80% of patients stabilising and being shifted to wards for further care. The Dialysis Unit, with 20 beds, remains fully functional and continues to support long-term renal patients.
Other departments including the SNCU, addiction treatment centre, and laboratory were also reviewed, with emphasis on strengthening early detection systems, preventive healthcare, and expanding cancer screening services.
Vishwajit Rane reiterated that the focus remains on building a future-ready healthcare system driven by preventive care and advanced diagnostics, ensuring accessible, affordable, and quality treatment for all.
