Jodhpur : Jodhpur The modern Regional Cancer Center built in Jodhpur is being started after a long wait, but at present modern facilities will not be available. The radiology department which is operating in MDM Hospital is being shifted here. OPD and IPD facilities will start in two days. Earlier there was a plan to start it from the hands of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, but permission has not been received yet.
Not an expert to operate the machine
The expensive machine Pet CT has been installed in this centre, but the license to operate it has not been obtained. Actually, to operate this machine, an expert is needed in the Nuclear Medicine Department, but there is no employee in Jodhpur on this type of post in the government. Without this expert it cannot be licensed. In such a situation, it will take time to operate this center with full specialist services. The modern machines have been lying in the basement for more than a year. The cost of these machines is around Rs 2 crore.
What is Regional Cancer Center?
The most modern Regional Cancer Center of Western Rajasthan is built on the land of Ground Water Department in Jodhpur. The cost of this entire project is Rs 180 crore. Rs 80 crores have been spent on its construction. A four-storey building is to be built in it. Medical equipment and other machinery are to be installed for Rs 100 crore.
OPD of more than 40
At present the OPD of the Radiology Department operating in MDM Hospital is 40 to 50. There are two wards for IPD. These facilities will be started in the new center and a point will be made for blood sample collection, but the test and report will be received from the MDM Hospital and Medical College premises only.
