Patients coming to New Civil Hospital (NCH) will soon get a taste of facilities that private hospitals offer. The hospital administration has decided to implement a 14-point programme called SOP (Special Operative Procedures) in comings days which will ensure that patients get better treatment, quickly and by people-friendly staff.
Always criticised for its attitude towards patients, NCH is all set for a makeover. SOP was suggested by a committee formed to investigate into incidents where babies were delivered outside the hospital campus.
The changes include:
The council of the medical college approved implementation of SOP on Wednesday. "We are keen to increase facilities so that patients get hassle-free quality treatment. This is our attempt to make the hospital more patient friendly. While the recruitment process will take time, other suggestions will be implemented immediately," said Mahesh Wadhel, superintendent of NCH.
