Cardiology block at General Hospital
By Our Staff Reporter The Hindu Saturday, July 6, 2002
Tiruvanantapuram, July 5 - A separate block is being set up for cardiology at the General Hospital
to provide improved care for heart patients.
This was decided at a meeting of the Hospital Development Society (HDS) chaired by the District
Collector, E. Ayyappan.
A sub-committee was also constituted to coordinate mobilisation of funds for the project from
various sources including the constituency development funds of local MPs and MLAs. The
sub-committee would also explore the scope for tapping contributions from sponsors for building the
new block.
The sub-committee has been directed to engage in consultations with the Cooperation Minister, M.V.
Raghavan, to pursue the project.
It is proposed to equip the new cardiology block with a TMT room, Echo room and other modern
infrastructure. The Hospital Superintendent, M.K. Jeevan, said the proposed cardiology block would
have a ten-bedded ICU.
At present, the cardiology services at the General Hospital are being provided from a four-bedded
ICU and single cardiologist. It is expected that any substantive improvement in the quality of
services would be achieved only with the provision of adequate staff at the proposed block. The HDS
also allotted Rs. 10 lakhs for purchasing various equipment required by various departments.
