KOLKATA: The Trauma Care Centre (TCC) at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital got a major revamp on Thursday when more beds, equipment, services and manpower were pumped into this facility. Prodded by Bengal chief minister Mamatta Banerjee, the centre will now be functional 24x7 with new services introduced for trauma patients.
Sources in the health department said Mamata Banerjee had raised the issue of a number of trauma patients being referred from RGKMCH to IPGMER’s TCC during a health review meet last week . The CM had asked the RGKMCH to improve its trauma care infrastructure so that patients get treatment there. The CM had inaugurated this facility in 2017 as the state’s first TCC.
