Patna High Court Disposes Of PIL On Indira Gandhi Institute Of Medical Sciences (IGIMS)

The Patna High Court on Friday disposed of the PIL of Council for Protection and Public Rights and Welfare, which had sought improvement in the conditions of the Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS), following a reply from the IGIMS that steps had been taken to enhance medicare facilities for patients.

A division bench comprising Justice Chandramauli Kumar Prasad and Justice Mihir Kumar Jha disposed of the PIL after perusing the exhaustive supplementary counter-affidavit regarding the state government's recent grant of Rs 50 crore for improving the infrastructural facilities in the IGIMS, the recent purchases of equipment and enhancing the medicare facilities in its different departments.

On the court's remarks regarding the efforts for improvement of the IGIMS as mentioned in the supplementary counter-affidavit, the petitioner's counsel, M P Gupta, submitted that the the PIL should be disposed of.

In its affidavit, the IGIMS administrative officer submitted that steps had been initiated for starting an MBBS course and a nursing college in the IGIMS, which has already introduced DNB courses in anaesthesiology and radiology.

He said that the IGIMS had already submitted a proposal before an expert committee, which was appointed to assess the developmental needs of the IGIMS, regarding the need of Rs 300 crore for upgradation of the IGIMS. After receiving the Rs 50-crore grant from the state government, the IGIMS would procure more medical equipment, he added.

Earlier, for want of fund, it was not possible to provide the latest equipment, including the digital X-ray and MRI machines, he added.

The officer further said that the state government had allocated Rs 30 crore during the current financial year for running the IGIMS efficiently.

He submitted that the work on creation of a trauma centre in IGIMS was in an advanced stage and that the neuro physiology lab had been provided with facilities like EEC and EMG. A separate neurology wing, with a urodynamic lab having ESWL equipment for management of renal stones, has already been started, he submitted.

The officer added that a spacious dialysis unit with more dialysis machines has been established in the IGIMS.

A comprehensive waste management system has also been commissioned in the IGIMS, he said, adding that round-the-clock medical emergency service is available in the institute. A system for monitoring the daily statistical details of the medicare in IGIMS is under operation, he added.
