The Burn HDU, built at a cost of INR 60.49 lakh, is equipped with modern medical technology such as ICU beds, cardiac monitors, defibrillators, and syringe pumps, which will greatly improve the treatment of burn injuries and emergencies in the region. The Eye OT, upgraded at INR 9.51 lakh, features advanced equipment including autoclaves, RO water purifiers, and scrub stations, and is expected to facilitate over 200 eye surgeries annually, thereby enhancing ophthalmic care for local residents.
