Patient Care
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery runs daily outpatient services between 9.00 am to 5.00pm and emergency services round the clock. It is backed by round the clock services of laboratory, radiology, accidents and emergencies and anaesthesiologist. Because of early availability of investigation reports and the availability of PACS- (picture archiving and communication system), definitive plan of treatment is often decided on the day of admission itself. Inter departmental references are done on the same day if necessary. Department of Physiotherapy and Re-habitation backed by Artificial Limb Centre is taking care of outpatients and admitted patients.
