Vice-Chancellor of the BHU Prof Panjab Singh inaugurated clinic and lauded efforts of the authorities of the SS Hospital—affiliated to the Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS-BHU)—in patient care.

Prof Panjab Singh said services at the SS Hospital were being improved and the prestigious hospital would soon be equipped with a ‘Hospital Information System’ (HIS).

The ‘Evening Clinic’ would now run from 4.30 pm. to 6.30 pm. (except Sunday and holidays) in the out patient department (OPD) ward of the SS Hospital in which expert consultants of IMS-BHU would render their services to the needy.

Patients will have to pay Rs 200 to get themselves diagnosed by senior consultants. Around 24 expert consultants would render their services at the clinic and each would diagnose a maximum of 25 patients per day.

Director of IMS-BHU, Prof Gajendra Singh welcomed the guests and highlighted the facilities of the evening clinic. Deputy registrar MR Pathak conducted the programme and medical superintendent of SS Hospital Prof Saroj Churamani Gopal proposed a formal vote of thanks.

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs had approved the proposal to accord AIIMS status to 13 medical institutes including IMS-BHU across the country at a cost of Rs 15.6 billion, recently.
