In a significant move towards enhancing healthcare services in Shirala taluka, MLA Satyajit Deshmukh announced the introduction of dialysis facilities at Shirala Sub-District Hospital and Kokarud Rural Hospital within the next two months. This development aims to bring modern healthcare services closer to the residents of the region.
The Need and Importance of Dialysis Facilities
A total of 16 dialysis units will be operational—8 at Shirala Sub-District Hospital and 8 at Kokarud Rural Hospital. This will greatly benefit patients suffering from kidney-related ailments, sparing them from traveling long distances for treatment. These facilities will save time and reduce expenses while ensuring timely care for patients.
New Services: Building a Foundation for Advanced Healthcare
In addition to dialysis units, a Trauma Care Center, Orthopedic Department, and a dedicated Neonatal Care Unit will be established at Shirala Sub-District Hospital. These facilities will provide crucial support for accident victims, patients with bone disorders, and newborns requiring specialized care.
To improve existing services, stabilizers will be installed for X-ray machines, ensuring their smooth operation. Additionally, free sonography testing services will soon be made available, a significant benefit for economically weaker sections of society.
Appointment of Medical Specialists and Facility Expansion
Efforts are underway to appoint MD and MS medical specialists at the sub-district hospital. A 20-bed Trauma Care Center is also in the pipeline, with necessary equipment and staff to be appointed soon. These steps will further enhance the hospital's capability to handle critical cases.
Society Participation in Healthcare
During his visit to the Shirala Sub-District Hospital, MLA Deshmukh interacted with patients to understand their issues and needs. The visit also included key officials like District Surgeon Dr. Vikramsingh Kadam and other medical officers, whose collaboration is expected to expedite the implementation of these initiatives.
Conclusion
The introduction of dialysis units and other advanced healthcare facilities in Shirala and Kokarud marks a pivotal moment in the taluka's healthcare development. Under the leadership of MLA Satyajit Deshmukh, these services aim to make healthcare more accessible, affordable, and reliable for the rural population.
With these advancements, Shirala taluka is set to witness a significant transformation in its healthcare infrastructure, offering relief and improved quality of life to its residents.
