“Caring is a
way of life”. This is the motto at Bhopal Memorial Hospital and Research
Centre, a 350-bedded
multi-specialty tertiary care centre situated at
Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, which is the centre / heart of
India.
The institute was started as per the directive of the honorable Supreme Court
of India to provide advanced tertiary level super-specialty care to the victims
of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy (1984) as well as to extend its services to the public
at large.
The
hospital is a
referral and tertiary care centre for the thousands of gas tragedy victims who
are first seen at the primary care level in the 8 mini units (satellite health
centers) spread around in the city, and then referred to the advanced and
specialized departments at the
hospital.
A sprawling,
lush, green campus with a serene atmosphere greets the patients and their
families when they reach the
hospital. A tribute to the gas victims named
“Homage & Hope” provides a soothing and reassuring feeling to the
patients and their families.
The
state-of-the-art infrastructure of the
hospital building with strategically
designed health care facilities literally takes the breath away and yet lends a
professionally confident quality to our care. Additional facilities like easily
accessible rest homes and cafeterias add to the comfort level of patients and
their caretakers.
It takes a lot
more than engineering and technology to make up a
hospital. A team of diligent
and dedicated highly qualified medical professionals, including specialists and
super specialists, ably supported by efficient and warm nursing and paramedical
staff is the crowing glory of this institution.
Health care is
just the first step in our service to the community, and can never be complete
without research and spreading knowledge through teaching. The institute has a
highly advanced research centre. Teaching facilities include a nursing college
and a paramedical institute. DNB courses are offered in some of the
super-specialties like Cardio-thoracic Surgery, Gastro-surgery, Anesthesia and
Critical Care, and Cardiology.
Courses in other specialties will soon be available.
