“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
. This 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 are 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.
